Good afternoon from South High School.

Congratulations to Representative MN State Rep Samantha Sencer-Mura for receiving the 63A DFL Endorsement!

Thank you for talking about the work you did for the East Phillips Indoor Urban Farm and for your commitment to fund our public schools.

Ward 9 Update - April 12, 2024!

Uber and Lyft, 3000 Minnehaha, Community Office Hours, and my concern that session will end without Smith Foundry being held accountable.

In 2018, Governor Mark Dayton proposed $138 million in one-time funding in 'emergency aid' to support school districts facing budget deficits. This did not pass mn.gov/gov-stat/pdf/2… minnpost.com/education/2018…

Around 30 delegates came to a delegate training for Anquam Mahamoud at Powderhorn Park.

The momentum is building ahead of the SD62 convention this Sunday.

Delighted to have Minnesota State Rep. MN State Rep Samantha Sencer-Mura as a guest for the Japanese Prime Minister's joint address to Congress. Rep. Sencer-Mura is a trailblazer, being the first Japanese-American elected to the state legislature.

Corporate pressure is real. But the Minneapolis City Council voted against rescinding the rideshare minimum wage ordinance (10-3).

While refinements can still happen, it’s clear that we will not allow Uber and Lyft to exploit our Black, people of color, and immigrant drivers.

In November of 2023, through a surprise EPA investigation Smith Foundry was discovered to be in violation of the Clean Air Act. Yesterday it was fined for OSHA violations. Our community and our workers deserve better. Call your Senator and support SF 4316. Smith has got to go.

The level of negligence here is shocking, and only further impresses the need to close Smith Foundry. For decades Smith Foundry has operated in a largely residential area. 🧵 1/4 startribune.com/minneapolis-fo…

The foundry was required to pay at least four of the fines by April 1, while the remainder of the penalties must be paid by May 6. kstp.com/kstp-news/loca…

Minnesota OSHA issued citations for multiple violations of its occupational safety and health standards.

We need to shut down Smith Foundry. And we need a just transition for these workers.

Smith Foundry has been cited for health and safety violations. I hope this report brings worker safety to the highest standard. This in conjunction with the lead emissions is unacceptable. Smith needs to close until it can prove it is safe for its workers and the community.
