Trans girls are girls. Trans boys are boys. All of our kids should be able to play sports 🏳️⚧️
Assuming the local labor movement is on board with this, this is a really exciting idea. Municipal governments have taken on economic empowerment, but how many have actually helped workers organize? This has the potential to do so much good for struggling families. www.politico.com/news/2026/09...

Talking to voters on the West Side with Stephanie Anderson and Omar Syed!
First time taking my 3-year-old to the Fair! What should we do first?

I ran for School Board because I believed our kids deserved better. Two years into our new governance model and we can already see results. Graduation rate is up by 10%. Music and arts funding is up by 22.5%. We've expanded access to the trades. Civics scores are up. And more!

Today I'm publishing North Star Governance, an open-source school board governance model built on community input and democratic accountability. It's free to use, adapt, and build on. If you've been asking me what a real alternative to SOFG looks like, here it is! medium.com/@uriahstp/in...

When I first joined the Saint Paul School Board, I was able to pass proposals to stream our COB meetings and lengthen our public comment period. I've consistently worked to make our board more transparent and accessible. And that transparency has made us better!
The moment we approved our new strategic plan! I'm so excited to see us moving forward in partnership with the community we serve, focused on the wellbeing of our students. And I did finally get one of those SPPS 2033 shirts 💚
Meeting time. We're talking about the district's new strategic plan tonight!

Happy Primary Election Day!! If you haven't yet, please go vote! Your school board candidates won't be on your ballot until November, so don't worry when you don't see us today!
We've got yard signs! Let me know if you want ones for the DFL-endorsed school board candidates.
Orren loves to read the letters on my shirts. Since I mostly wear shirts I've gotten for free through my work, it makes him sound like a labor unionist 🤣
New game: Orren picks a number. We walk around the store trying to find that number. Lots of celebrating when we find it. He's very good at this game.
