People remember how you show up not just during election season, but all year round.

I’m running because I am fighting for the people for families, for justice, for Ward 4. Every conversation on these blocks reminds me why this fight matters.

Marvina Haynes @marvinaforward4.bsky.social · 14d

While out door knocking, I talked to a man in his front yard. He looked at me and said,

“Are you the one fighting for the people? I’ve heard about you.”

A few houses down, I stopped another man and he said,
“I met you before! I definitely remember you.”

Moments like these mean everything to me. 💜

We need policies and programs that meet people where they are, not where the system says they should be.

That means creating pathways to homeownership that don’t punish families for circumstances outside their control, offering tools, counseling, & fair financing that opens the door, not closes it.

Marvina Haynes @marvinaforward4.bsky.social · 24d

The truth is: credit scores are often shaped by systemic barriers redlining, predatory lending, medical debt, and economic injustice not by someone’s character or potential as a homeowner.

Ward 4 families told over & over that their credit score defines whether they deserve a chance to buy a home.

1 2

Marvina Haynes @marvinaforward4.bsky.social · 24d

Homeownership is a cornerstone of stability and wealth but for too many in our community, it feels out of reach.

Because everyone in our community deserves the opportunity to put down roots, build equity, and create generational stability no matter what their credit score is.

His testimony isn’t just about me, it’s about the fight for justice so many families in North Minneapolis are carrying every day.

I’m running for City Council in Ward 4 because leadership should reflect that same resilience, that same truth, and that same commitment to fighting for what’s right.

When my brother Marvin was exonerated after 20 years of wrongful incarceration, he spoke these words:

“If it wasn’t for my sister and the Innocence Project, I wouldn’t be here. My sister lost so much trying to fight to prove my innocence. Words cannot describe what she means to me and my family.”
