First, you vote Frazier. Then, we win. And finally, we prosecute ICE.
Happy Election Day neighbors! It’s time to get out the vote for progressive champions that are ready to fight for all of us!
I am honored to be endorsed by the Minneapolis City Council's progressive majority! Thank you to Council Members @elliottpayne.org, @robin4mpls.bsky.social, Jamal Osman, @sorenwithward8.bsky.social, @jchavezmpls.bsky.social, & @aurinmpls.bsky.social for your support.
Polls are open Minnesota! Get your Vote on! @peggyflanagan.bsky.social @cedrickfrazier.bsky.social @keithellison.bsky.social
Happy Election Day! Polls are open until 8PM. If you say you oppose ICE and stand with immigrant communities, then you CANNOT vote for Angie Craig who voted for the Laken Riley Act and thanked ICE.
“I am heading into my first budget session with a clear goal: invest in our communities like they have invested in our city.
Soren Stevenson: As Frey considers painful cuts, Minneapolis is overspending on police

I had a wonderful day celebrating our community today! I attended Sabathani’s 60th Anniversary Block Party, enjoyed some amazing music and food and celebrated 60 years of Sabathani’s service to South Minneapolis.

@angiecraigmn.bsky.social thanked ICE agents for their service to Minnesota. This is how they served my neighborhood when I tried to record them abusing and kidnapping my neighbor. This was after Reneé but before Alex. Please vote for @peggyflanagan.bsky.social!
Elliott Payne@elliottpayne.org · 7mo agoThis is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.
Neighbors, I will be holding Ward 8 office hours next Friday, 8/14 11am-1pm at Bichota Coffee, 3740 Chicago Ave. Come share your thoughts and questions, I hope to see you there!
My colleagues @aishaforward10.com @jchavezmpls.bsky.social @aurinmpls.bsky.social and I are bringing forward a Safe Outdoor Parking Ordinance this fall, and we want to hear from you!
🚨🚨🚨EHB talks MPD 🚨🚨🚨 I am extremely concerned about the impact that MPD spending will have on our property taxes and budget priorities this year. Now is the time to speak up to stop MPD cost growth from consuming the investments we need in our communities.
Ward 8 showed up and showed out for National Night Out last night! I had a great time connecting with neighbors and celebrating our wonderful neighborhoods. Thank you to everyone who attended and made these block parties possible.
That was a pretty awesome NNO but I am EXHAUSTED. My neighbors are incredible, and I had such a good time talking to them that I talked myself out! I love living here so much! (also shoutout to @sorenwithward8.bsky.social for stopping by and chatting with me about some neighborhood concerns)
Today marks just ONE week until Primary Election Day on Tuesday, Aug 11th! Team Fateh has been canvassing across Senate District 62 to get out the vote for progressive candidates! Make your plan to vote: mnvotes.org Join us for a door knock: sd62dfl.org/events/
Neighbors, I am looking forward to connecting with many of you tomorrow evening for National Night Out! There are over 100 block parties planned in Ward 8! I will be joining as many block parties and gatherings as possible, I apologize in advance for the ones I won’t be able to make.
🎉Neighbors! You're invited! Please join me for Coming Back Home: Sabathani's 60th Anniversary Block Party on Saturday, August 8, from 11am–3pm.
This week I was at the MN Cooperative Summit in Duluth. I learned about the long and storied history of co-ops in MN and how they allow everyone to thrive in our economy.
I had a great time connecting with neighbors door-knocking for candidates who have our backs and are ready to hold ICE accountable for terrorizing our communities! There are just 15 days until the August 11th primary.
Minnesota deserves a real fighter and a real Democrat. Watch our new 📺 ad here:
Our city is reeling from mass shootings and gun violence this past weekend. I want you to know that the City takes this very seriously. My colleagues and I are taking steps to help ensure all of our neighborhoods are safer.

Joined @aishagomez.bsky.social, @sorenwithward8.bsky.social, & @mapeunion.bsky.social: Southside for Shakopee! Knocked two turfs for @bradtabke.bsky.social, AG Ellison, & @peggyflanagan.bsky.social 🚪 Last cycle, Tabke won by just 14 votes! We’re putting in the work to win back the #MNLeg trifecta.
I am excited to be working with community leaders towards a pocket park on 38th Street & 4th Ave. We had a great meeting about this project today. This community-driven project will bring much needed investment and attention to the 38th street corridor.
Yesterday I joined fellow progressive DFLers door-knocking in Shakopee for @bradtabke.bsky.social for MN House and @peggyflanagan.bsky.social for US Senate.
