"If it's hard for them to get into the parking lot, they're just going to drive 20 minutes away instead" If someone can't figure out how to reach a restaurant because they can't turn left into the lot, they shouldn't be driving a car. I guarantee they'll end up in a lake on their way to Edina.

This morning I listened Davis Moturi's full statement on his experience with MPD as he lived under constant threat of racial violence. Davis lives around the corner — literally on the same block — and although I know his story, there's nothing as gut wrenching as hearing him tell it. Please listen.

Last July, the pope called his bank in South Chicago. He wanted to update the phone number on his account. The teller told him that any changes had to be made in person with an ID. Knowing that was impossible, he asked: “Would it matter to you if I told you I’m Pope Leo?” She hung up on him.

We’re asking for your help because it’s the end of the month & our neighbors need assistance. ICE is still here & many neighbors are at risk of eviction. We’ll keep working to ensure government does more to step up, but our neighbors need help now & there’s less mutual aid coming in than before.

The city has spent ~$5M above budget in the past month to deal with the occupation, with roughly $130k per day going to MPD overtime. So when mod CMs/the mayor tell you that we can’t afford rent relief, they’re telling you that they prefer to spend your tax dollars on this instead.
