Ran into one of my neighbors who lives in the apartment building next door. We met last year when he was my Lyft driver! He talked to me then about how important our work to raise wages and working conditions for drivers was. Today, he told me how proud he was to vote for me 🥹♥️

Happy Election Day, Minneapolis! Grateful to continue the tradition of voting with my neighbors, this time with the littlest addition to our crew, Sabina.

If you’re voting in person today, reply with your precinct/polling place, the time you voted, and what voter number you were!

The energy in the city is inspiring. The people are ready for change — together, we will elect a new Mayor to work alongside our progressive City Council majority to build an affordable city accountable to us.

Join me and @ilhanmn.bsky.social at 5pm today at Sabathani for a rally and doorknock!

Hennepin Avenue is the first major policy issue I worked on as a new Council Member in 2022. As we re-open this street today, knowing how critical it is to revitalizing Uptown, I’m reflecting on the advocacy of the Ward 10 community in making this generational investment possible.

It was a great afternoon with @omarfatehmn.com @aishaforward10.com and @jason4parks.bsky.social talking with neighbors about a city that works together for all of us!

Workers are the backbone of Minneapolis. We all deserve a stable, living-wage job, free of intimidation and wage theft. Union members are supporting me because I’m their #1 champion at City Hall. I’m hitting the doors with them to talk to neighbors about our vision this week 🧵👇🏽

Tomorrow, @robin4mpls.bsky.social and I will celebrate our birthdays with you, and we're excited to have a special guest joining us to close out the night, our future Mayor @omarfatehmn.com. We'll have some treats to share and more available to buy. Register at aishaforward10.con/events

I know some people think it’s offensive for me to celebrate my birthday. Here’s the thing: as a domestic violence survivor, every day of this life is a gift I never imagined I’d have. Every birthday is a reminder of how lucky I am to be here. To another year of learning and growing, inshallah ✨

The last year brought a lot of change—across the US, here in Minneapolis, and in each of our lives, including mine. Through it all, serving Ward 10 is one of the most rewarding, challenging, and transformative experiences of my life.

I’m turning 28, and I want to share this milestone with y’all.

Let me just say. Minneapolis is the proud home of so many of our trans and gender nonconforming neighbors, and I hope we continue to grow the community we have here already. Fuck anybody scapegoating trans people in this moment.

I’m heartbroken for everyone impacted by the unspeakable gun violence targeting our children and educators at Annunciation Catholic School.

I can’t imagine the profound loss the families and loved ones of the victims are experiencing today. My prayers are with them ♥️

Big loss for Mayor Frey today. Losing an endorsement from SEIU’s members is monumental. The majority of SEIU members who live or work in Minneapolis are immigrants, women, and/or BIPOC.

Congratulations on earning @seiumn.bsky.social support, @omarfatehmn.com! Let’s win, together #1u
I am excited to announce that @seiumn.bsky.social has endorsed our campaign for Minneapolis Mayor!

For too long, corporations and big business owners have enriched themselves at the expense of hardworking employees. I’m running for Mayor to help change this uneven power dynamic in our city.

Ward 10 is famous for many things: the best transit access in the state, your favorite local restaurant, coffee shops worthy of your caffeine addiction, and of course the @wedge.live Cat Tour!

I hope to see you tomorrow at 6pm at Mueller Park for the 8th (!!!) annual Cat Tour.

Today, federal agents come into our city with a military style presence. Our community showed up to care for one another. I know you’ll continue to be in the streets, standing up for our immigrant neighbors, bearing witness, and telling agents of cruelty to leave.

After a powerful day of organizing, the Ward 10 Convention ended with us in first place with 52% of the delegates. This win is a testament to our transformative work together over the last 4 years and the power of our vision of a city where everyone has what they need to thrive.

I’m so honored to be endorsed by my friend and colleague @emilykoskimpls.bsky.social!

Emily and I have worked across our differences to achieve important wins for Minneapolis residents. Ward 10 Delegates, I hope you’ll vote for me at Convention tomorrow.

I was 7 years old when my family learned our then-undocumented parent had a breast tumor. Without urgent treatment we couldn’t afford, she had limited time before it became cancer. Healthcare coverage for undocumented Minnesotans, regardless of their age, is personal to me 🧵

I’m so honored to be the only union-endorsed candidate running to represent Ward 10. Earning the support of @seiumn.bsky.social and @uniteherelocal17.bsky.social means the world to me. I’m proud to unapologetically fight for working people who make this city run every single day.

I’m so thrilled to share our campaign has been endorsed by Sunrise Twin Cities ! Together, we can build more connected and resilient communities at the local level.

Excited to see you at your Ward 10 caucus location tonight!
