Parkways in Minneapolis were meant to be "ribbons of park" for people to easily access and enjoy our natural environment. I think it's time for us to check in, gather some data, and ensure that our parkways are truly serving residents and the environment!

We won our court case because renters should always be included in the democratic stewardship of our parks!

Robin for Ward 2 @robin4mpls.bsky.social · 2d

We won!

Following three weeks of legal proceedings and over five hours in court, the judge found Wayzata-based Minneapolis landlord John Wall in violation of the law on three counts, resulting in a $1,450 fine.

We all deserve the basics to live healthy and dignified lives. Fighting for decent material conditions can be a struggle when so many feel isolated. But regardless of the election results, it will continue to be the honor of my life to go through struggle with helpers here in Minneapolis!

How many city candidates does it take to build a public bench? DeWayne Davis (for mayor), Michael Wilson and Tom Olsen (both for parks) are showing voters they've mastered the arts of power tools and woodworking.

We need local governments to work as a team and build together, not an administration that blames and passes the buck. We are all in this together Minneapolis!
