Vote Marvina Haynes for Minneapolis City Council – Ward 4 💜

I’m a lifelong Northsider, mother, and advocate who has fought for justice from freeing my brother Marvin after 19 years of wrongful incarceration, to pushing for fair housing, and environmental accountability here in our neighborhoods.

While out door knocking, I talked to a man in his front yard. He looked at me and said,

“Are you the one fighting for the people? I’ve heard about you.”

A few houses down, I stopped another man and he said,
“I met you before! I definitely remember you.”

Moments like these mean everything to me. 💜

Inspiring the next generation of change-makers!

I was honored to speak with students of the Camden Political Action Crew about justice, leadership, & the power of our voices.

These young leaders reminded me the future of our community is already here - thoughtful, bold; ready to make a difference.

Homeownership is a cornerstone of stability and wealth but for too many in our community, it feels out of reach.

Because everyone in our community deserves the opportunity to put down roots, build equity, and create generational stability no matter what their credit score is.

When my brother Marvin was exonerated after 20 years of wrongful incarceration, he spoke these words:

“If it wasn’t for my sister and the Innocence Project, I wouldn’t be here. My sister lost so much trying to fight to prove my innocence. Words cannot describe what she means to me and my family.”

Ward 4 voters will see familiar names on the ballot.

My resilience comes because I am a reflection of my community. When I become your next City Council Member, that’s not just history it’s a reflection of the resilience, strength, and truth of North Minneapolis. 1/

Ward 4 has been overlooked for too long.
