Great resources and supports here for Minnesota educators!

Here's the letter I sent to State Fair officials along with the petition to remove The Minnesotan--a racist vendor--from the State Fair. You can still sign the petition! change.org/p/end-racist-v…

Tell the MN State Fair to take action now against vendors promoting and profiting from racism.

This is about the State Fair--and all of the places we gather and connect--having clear guidelines in place that racism, harm, and discrimination of any kind ARE NOT TOLERATED. But instead, the Fair rewards them. How is this not a problem?

“This is about more than a T-shirt. It’s about an intentional, celebratory, racist provocation and that the Fair has zero policies in place to ensure no vendors promote racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or discrimination of any kind.”

MnEEP Call to Action: As the Minnesota Legislature convenes to clarify legislation regarding the use of force by School Resource Officers (SROs) within our E-12 schools, it must center racial equity in these foundational ways. mneep.org/2024/02/12/mne…

🧵👇Centering the safety of students, especially students of color and Indigenous students, means their needs come first. It means enacting legislation to support and protect them, not shielding police from responsibility and accountability.

In light of the SRO bill passing the House, MnEEP issues an urgent call to legislators to center racial equity and the humanity of all students on school safety legislation. A letter from MnEEP Executive Director Carlos Mariani: mneep.org/2024/03/04/ret…

🧵 I wasn't planning to respond to yesterday’s The Minnesota Star Tribune story about “rising attacks on law enforcement” and its deeply flawed, misleading data analysis. But I couldn’t sleep thinking about it. So here we go.

Hi, Paul! Since you're a policymaker who is too busy during the Senate break to read or look at any data or analysis to inform your decisions or thinking as a policymaker—let me help out a very busy man like you! First, let's look at the economic impact:

Hello, new friends and followers! As you know, facts and data are critical for deepening understanding and shifting narratives around key policies. That' why, in my recent spare time, I have been working on the Trump Truth Teller Toolkit! And I would love your help with it!
