My kid is in preschool run by MPRB and it is wonderful!! Ms Jenny and her staff are amazing. It’s affordable too! But not enough daily hours to be full time care for most families, which is a shame.

We need park commissioners who will not only protect RecPlus but expand it to meet growing demand.

This is exactly why we need a Park Board that invests in our youth. MPRB runs the Recreation Plus childcare program, the most affordable daycare program in the city; without it, thousands of working families would be hurt.

Remote policies helped women work. In-office mandates and child care costs are driving them back out.

Low flexibility and high child care costs are pushing mothers with young kids back out after they joined the workforce in record numbers during the pandemic.

Take Action MN has been leading on progressive issues across Minnesota for nearly two decades, and I'm proud to have their support as we work to create a more just and sustainable park system in Minneapolis!

Annie Young served the people of Minneapolis faithfully, spearheading causes and leading on issues people were too afraid to even talk about, and if I'm elected, I want to be just like her.
