  • Public Comment: Contracts with Hennepin County Sheriff's
    From: Seamus Flynn To: Council Comment Subject: [EXTERNAL] "Defund the Police" means actually defunding the police Date: Thursday, November 12, 2020 6:03:55 PM Dear members of the Minneapolis City Council, This past June, I was thrilled when a majority of you publicly committed to work towards abolishing the Minneapolis Police. I thought that politicians were finally taking seriously the idea that police as an institution do more harm than good, endangering our most vulnerable community members through their violence. I thought that perhaps Minneapolis could be a national leader in showing us that getting rid of police is not only possible, but preferable and necessary. Sadly, your actions since then have spoken louder than your words, and I no longer trust that your promises from June were more than political posturing. I'm angered by your plan to allocate nearly $500,000 tomorrow for MPD's contract with the county sheriff's department and the transit police. This will put more police on the North Side, where they will hurt people. I'm particularly frustrated with the three of you who both support this initiative and agreed in June to defund the police. You can't have it both ways: This motion would quite literally fund the police. Imagine what else we could do with that $500K. We're going into the winter, the pandemic is worse than it's ever been, and homeless people in Minneapolis have nowhere to sleep. Get your priorities straight. I'm also concerned by your proposed appointments of Lyannia Jacobsen and Malaysia Abdi to the Police Conduct Oversight Commission, and I urge all members of the city council to vote against them.

  • Responding to Racism
    On Monday, May 25, 2020, in the middle of a day, George Floyd, a Black man living in Minneapolis, Minnesota, was pulled from his car and publicly executed by a white police officer. Three other police officers stood by while everything was all caught on nine minutes of tape. The nation and the world have watched and reacted. All of this is occurring while COVID-19 is also present. ________________________________________________________ OUR STAFF, OUR CLIENTS, THE PEOPLE WE SEEK TO SERVE ARE ASKING FOR OUR HELP. What CAN / SHOULD WE DO / NOT DO / TRY / BUILD / PRACTICE in these moments + beyond? o Racism is pervasive, predictable, and deadly o Uprisings and resistance to injustice consistently occur in the U.S. + around the globe o Context always matters; workplaces can take meaningful action Team Dynamics is a national firm of racial justice practitioners headquartered in Minnesota. We are a mixed teami of Black, Latinx, API, and white adult educators that support U.S.-based workplaces to achieve racial and gender equity goals. Workers are living this collective moment. Team Dynamics works side-by-side with organizations, leaders, and teams. We support groups who want to build their capacity to name, notice, and navigate differences that are making a difference: ex. race, gender identity, religion, disability, immigration experience, class, sexual orientation, and more. Racial equity, justice, and liberation are at the center of our practice. In the midst of the global pandemic and economic crisis brought on by COVID-19, in the wake of the murder of yet another Black American at the hands of police, Team Dynamics has been asked by our clients, friends, and colleagues for help.

  • Annual Report 2017: Forward Together
    National Center for TRANSGENDER EQUALITY ANNUAL REPORT 2017: FORWARD TOGETHER TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 2 We stopped anti-trans extremists in their tracks. 3 We slowed down other anti-trans efforts. 5 We celebrated 14 years of winning life-saving 8 change for transgender people. We helped more people understand what it 9 means to be trans. We continued to win victories for equality. 10 We got ready to grow our political power. 11 Staff and board; Credits 12 Financials 13 1 INTRODUCTION Dear Supporter: In November 2016, we realized that the next few years were going to look very different from those we had seen before. And the work would be different. So we got ready. We prepared to stop anti-trans extremists and slow down those we couldn’t stop. But we also ramped up our work to raise awareness of what it means to be trans, and refused to give up on continuing to win victories for trans equality. With the launch of the National Center for Transgender Equality Action Fund, an affiliated political organization, the movement took a major step towards building up our political power. Every attack against the trans community in 2017 only made us stronger, faster, and more effective. We have strengthened our bonds and forged new ones with coalition partners from communities that are also under attack. We are keeping track of the damage from anti-trans forces, and we will fix it later. We know we’re on the right side of history, and we won’t back down. We will continue to fight, and we will continue to win.

  • 1 Remarks As Prepared for Delivery: Minneapolis 2020
    REMARKS AS PREPARED FOR DELIVERY: MINNEAPOLIS 2020 BUDGET RECOMMENDATION AUGUST 15, 2019 MAYOR JACOB FREY MINNEAPOLIS CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS Introductions & Acknowledgments Thank you, Council Vice President Andrea Jenkins. Your friendship, collaboration, and commitment to progress has meant a great deal to this city and to me. Thank you to our City Council Members for your input. Having met with each of you individually, your feedback was informative and constructive, and has helped shape this budget. It’s good to be joined by leaders from across our city and region, including a city hall alum Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. I want to thank leaders from across our departments, our finance team, and my staff for the long nights and major sweat equity they invested in making this budget happen. Your patience and persistence have been invaluable in building an exceptional budget for 2020 and developing important groundwork for years ahead. We also received important input from community members earlier this year. Your voices were heard, and they are reflected. And now it is my great honor to present to you the City of Minneapolis 2020 recommended budget. And as a matter of housekeeping, here’s the same brief disclaimer I offered last year: There is a lot to unpack, and several exciting items didn’t make it into these remarks given time constraints. I will be more than happy to further discuss any item in the 2020 budget with you. My door is always open. Structural Changes Last year, we promised you a strong foundation for a stronger future in Minneapolis. We’ve made good on that commitment, but we must now put our city on the right course for the future – a course that accounts for a cyclical economy, political instability, a warming climate, and our shared values that drive each and every decision.

We share below additional investments and actions the City has taken to advance race equity and invest in the intersection of 38th and Chicago and the surrounding neighborhood.

  • Charter Commission
    Council President Lisa Bender 350 S. Fifth St. – Room 307 Minneapolis, MN 55415 TEL 612.673.2204 August 5, 2020 To the Members of the Minneapolis Charter Commission: Thank you for your consideration of the City Council’s proposed charter amendment this past month. Our commitment, as expressed in the resolution passed by the City Council on June 12, 2020, is to transform the way we provide for community safety and respond to decades of failed reforms and deepening mistrust in the Minneapolis Police Department. Our constituents have called for structural change using words like “defund” and “disband” to describe our current, broken system alongside aspirational language like “transform” and “reimagine” as we begin the work toward the system we believe is possible, in which everyone feels safe. As elected representatives in a city demanding systemic change, we are proposing a charter amendment that allows us to meaningfully reimagine our city’s approach to safety. We expect the transformed system to include law enforcement as part of a multi-faceted approach to public safety. As you know, the charter amendment replaces the charter-mandated Police Department with a Department of Community Safety and Violence Prevention. It also states that “the Council may maintain a division of protective law enforcement services, composed of licensed Minnesota Peace Officers, subject to the supervision of the department of community safety and violence prevention.” From a governing perspective, there are two reasons why we used the word “may” instead of “shall.” First, it ensures the possibility that the City could choose to contract with another jurisdiction for public safety services if it made sense to do so, as many other towns and cities do.
