Spent the last 15 minutes calling all of my reps (using savecarsharemn.org as my source). If you hate talking to people, all I got was voicemail bc it’s Indigenous People’s Day and city/state employees aren’t working. FILL THEIR INBOXES!! #saveHOURCAR

As the founding executive director of HOURCAR, let me say that it is imperative someone steps forward to rescue car sharing AND bike sharing in the Twin Cities. HOURCAR, Evie and Nice Ride--all community-led nonprofits--were beautiful systems that allowed so many of us to live nearly car free.

well, I never expected to be published in a Stanford journal, but the McKnight Foundation asked me write my thesis to the philanthropic world after the MN ICE surge: when there is an emergency, just... give money to people on the ground doing the actual work. as fast as possible. radical, I know.

You don't have to answer the door for the Feds. Do not voluntarily talk to the Feds. If they have a warrant signed by an actual judge, then they can do precisely what the warrant says. But DO NOT TALK TO THE FEDS. Do not answer the door. If you're arrested, your only words are "I want a lawyer."

The bulk of the national discourse is focused on preventing white people from getting caught in the crosshairs of ICE’s violence. And the reason that feels so crazymaking in Minnesota is because we were organizing before Renee Good’s murder to protect people of color targeted by ICE.

“The response to this week's mass shooting at an encampment highlights the lack of empathy, imagination and leadership that mark Frey's tenure. His administration seems to only know how to pull two levers: eviction and fencing.” Shoutout to @beukema.bsky.social for his letter in today’s Strib
City needs a new approach, new mayor 

When Jacob Frey ran for Minneapolis mayor in 2017, a major claim of his campaign was that he would end homelessness in Minneapolis within five years. While he cannot be blamed for the effects of the COVID pandemic, it is fair to say he has failed miserably at this goal ("City begins clearing Minneapolis landlord's homeless encampment hours after another mass shooting," StarTribune.com, Sept. 16).
The response to this week's mass shooting at an encampment highlights the lack of empathy, imagination and leadership that mark Frey's tenure. His administration seems to only know how to pull two levers: eviction and fencing. It is reasonable to expect another four years to look like the last eight.

The police will continue to play Whac-A-Mole chasing encampments around the city, destroying the possessions, legal documents and medications of our most vulnerable residents.

Meanwhile more and more open public and private spaces will be fenced off or filled with concrete rubble, a concession of helplessness that makes our city uglier and less accessible.

Frey has failed, and it is time for an aggressive, housing-first approach that treats the unhoused as clients and a symptom of bigger problems, rather than as the problem themselves.
