The amount of organizing happening in a VERY short period of time is truly mind boggling. I've seen things come together in hours that, in the nonprofit & education spaces, would take weeks or MONTHS of planning and coordination. So, so proud of the Twin Cities right now.
The only meaningful pushback against the terror campaign comes in the form of my neighbors, regular people doing extraordinary and difficult work. They are coordinating themselves from the bottom up, grassroots, using phone chat apps. They are patrolling outside schools and immigrant businesses. They are putting in hours tailing ICE agents, blowing whistles, and witnessing the questionable incarceration of vulnerable neighbors. I know many people who have done this work every day, and I am in awe of their courage.  

For better or for worse, the trauma of 2020 prepared many people in the Twin Cities for this moment, pitting armed, well-funded masked men against average people with cell phones and plastic whistles. The only advantages for my neighbors are solidarity, moral clarity and whatever rights remain in this moment.

I'm honored to have the support of my coworkers at LH Tanglen Elementary School! Teacher friends are truly the best friends. #sylvie4slp #stlouispark #localelectionsmatter
I’m proud to endorse Sylvie Hyman for St. Louis Park City Council. I am an educator and have had the pleasure of working alongside Sylvie at Tanglen Elementary School. 

As a problem-solver and critical-thinker, Sylvie has spent years helping students overcome obstacles and reach their full potential. That same energy and empathy will make her a powerful advocate for all St. Louis Park residents. 

Sylvie is passionate about bicycle transportation. She bikes to work, no matter the weather. Her dedication and commitment to protecting our environment is incredibly admirable. Sylvie supports safe biking and walking routes, expanding public transit options, and protecting our environment for future generations. Sylvie has a calming presence. 

She listens first and then acts with purpose. She will serve our city well.
