I'm so grateful to CTUL, Unidos MN, and InquilinXs UnidXs for hosting The People's Mayoral Forum last night. It's always such an honor to answer questions directly from community members and you all asked some very thoughtful ones.
I had the opportunity last week to join John Edwards with @WedgeLIVE on a bike ride on Webber Parkway. We chatted about the election so far and about some of the biggest challenges facing our city. Check it out here or wherever you get your podcasts.

This Labor Day, I want to celebrate our city’s unions and to thank the workers that make our city run. We deserve a Mayor who will put people before profits every time.
Happy Labor Day!
We can protect and care for our trans communities and we can work to protect our communities from gun violence. Minneapolis is a city with an abundance of compassion and care to offer, and I know that we can do both. We need that care now more than ever.
People in power are trying to use the shooter’s identity to distract from gun reform and to attack trans communities. Rather than address the pain that radicalization and our gun-obsessed culture have caused our communities, they attack the marginalized.

Our communities deserve real and lasting gun reform and a serious response to root causes of violence. This special session would be a meaningful step in getting us there.

In the face of radicalization, let’s choose connection.
In the face of gun violence, let’s fight for gun reform together.
And in the face of this overwhelming grief, let’s embrace the power of our love and care for one another.
Every person in our community should be able to go to school or work or home, to stand on our city’s sidewalks, and to gather with people in community without fearing gun violence. It is a moral failing that children continue to die from something so incredibly preventable.
The news of a mass shooting at Annunciation Church is devastating, especially coming on the heels of multiple shootings in the last 24 hours. I’m holding the victims of these shootings, their families, and their communities in my heart today.
With his deep relationships with community members and his political experience, he has what it takes to meet our city’s biggest challenges. DeWayne knows that Minneapolis deserves better, and I believe with his leadership in the Mayor’s office, we can build the city we deserve."
"From his work on advocating for affordable housing and equitable healthcare to pushing for true community safety, DeWayne has shown over and over what compassionate, community-centered leadership looks like.
I stopped by Hot Dog Monday yesterday evening. It's a weekly gathering of neighbors of one block in the Cooper neighborhood and a great example of the care that folks in our city have for each other. Thank you all for inviting me!
Thank you to everyone who came out to my Seward Neighborhood meet and greet yesterday! It was great to get to chat with so many folks who care so much about our city.

We deserve a city government that works for all of us—where decisions are made based on what’s right for the people of our city, not based on who is most loyal to the mayor.
We deserve better.
