“Our teachers are breaking, and they need support to be able to do this right and so we can do what’s right for the students of Minnesota,” said Dr. Justin Killian, Education Minnesota issues specialist, of securing more funding and training for the READ Act. #mnleg #edmnvotes

Thank you to everyone who attended our fundraiser last night! Cracking down on wage theft, supporting our public schools, the future of George Floyd Square—we have so many deeply passionate people in our community with brilliant solutions and it's incredibly energizing.

Great to attend the DFL Humphrey-Mondale Dinner last week! I'm excited to continue to build on the progress last session by fighting for policies like ensuring healthcare isn't costing our hourly educators a third of their income and that every family can afford childcare.

The 19 Bar is closed due to a fire caused by a power pole that fell onto the bar after a garabage truck clipped it. The 8 employees need our help while they are out of work, let’s come together and chip in. You can donate to the official gofundme here. gofund.me/8904a195

Great to see everyone at the third annual Education Minnesota iftar! Let's continue to celebrate our shared humanity and work towards building an inclusive community for all our students and educators. Gratitude to all for a wonderful gathering!

Londel Endorsement Alert: DFL Progressive Caucus! I'm ready to champion our shared values that no matter the color of our skin, where we come from, or who we worship, we all deserve joy and justice.

I’ve been spending these last few weeks connecting with our neighbors & community leaders about their priorities for our next 62B State Rep. Drawing from these convos, I’m excited to release my policy priorities for a MN that reflects all our values. londelfrench.org/priorities

Coming up this week on the Wedge LIVE podcast: I make MN House candidate Londel French for 62B grimace when I say pro wrestling isn't "real."

Osseo has 57 open hourly school worker positions. Many of these professionals can make more working at McDonald's. "We cannot afford to lose these essential workers who are the glue holding our schools together," says Michelle Dennard. Pass the ESP Bill of Rights! #mnleg

Educator pay has failed to keep up with inflation. They also make less than those w/a similar education. Thankful for educator legislators like Mary K Kunesh and solutions like SB5204 to establish a working group on equitable teacher and paraprofessional compensation. #mnleg

Thanks for having me on Wedge LIVE!™! We don't have to agree about pro wrestling to agree about the solutions our communities in South Minneapolis need!

When I served on the Park Board, I eliminated fees on programs & activities because no kid should be turned away from our parks because they can’t pay. Great talking to Wedge LIVE!™ about how we made North Commons Water Park free & why we should be reducing these barriers to joy.

I’m running because I am proud to be a part of this community, and I know firsthand what we need. I know what it's like to live on $35k a year and work two or three jobs to make ends meet as an educator. That's representation we need in our legislature.
