ICE is active in Minneapolis, and it’s clear that being a sanctuary city is not enough to protect our neighbors. We cannot be silent at a time like this. If you haven’t yet, connect with your neighbors and talk about what you need to keep each other safe. We are stronger together.

Caucuses are just 20 days away, so here’s a brief guide on the process from Team E! Hope to see neighbors join us on caucus night on Tuesday, April 8th, at 7pm! Sign up to caucus and learn more about our campaign at EForWard5.com
Why do We caucus?
Caucuses are a time for neighbors to come together and discuss what issues are most important to them at the local level. Caucuses are also when neighbors decide who should represent their neighborhood at the DFL Convention.What is the DFL Convention?
The DFL convention is when representatives of each neighborhood come together to vote for which candidate best represents the values of the DFL party. The candidate with the most votes receives the DFL endorsement, and receives resources from the Minneapolis DFL party.
What are caucus and convention like?
While it may sound overwhelming, caucuses and convention are actually really fun! It's a great opportunity to meet your neighbors, talk about issues you care about, and build community!
Step 1
Visit our website and sign up to caucus.
Step 2
Attend caucuses on Tuesday, April 8th at 7pm.
Step 3
When asked if you'd like to be a delegate to the Ward 5 Convention, say YES!
Step 4
If need be, make your argument of why you should be a delegate for Ward 5!

Mrs. Breedlove is the best neighbor you could ask for, and I am honored to have her endorsement!
"Having known and having been a neighbor of Ethropic Burnett for over a decade, I can attest to her character. We live across the street from each other in the Hawthorne neighborhood of the 5th Ward. While growing up in Chicago, Ethropic witnessed the activism of her grandmother and mother and has carried on their history of being committed to one's neighborhood. In addition to being a good listener, she assists others by connecting their expressed needs to resources in the metro area. Her experiences from different avenues of employment in and about City Hall allow her to address issues with a portfolio of knowledge."

Susan Curnow Breedlove,
resident of 56 years, activist, and Northside historian, endorses Ethrophic Burnett for Ward 5!"Ms. Burnett received a Certificate of Commendation from the Mayor and City Council of Minneapolis in May of 2023 for exhibiting outstanding leadership.
The certificate states, 'Ethropic's willingness to step into and hold space in challenging situations and conversations, to demonstrate deep compassion through the most difficult of circumstances, and to develop authentic and trusting relationships in the community exemplifies the very essence of what it means to be a North Star.'"
