George Floyd’s murder shaped MPLS and the globe, connecting us all by what we saw: the inhumanity wielded by police towards black bodies. We won't forget. We are here. We are fighting to change the systems that continue to limit freedom and autonomy for BIPOC people everywhere ✊🏾
Thank you, Rep Xiong!

Heartbreaking news from Whittier Neighborhood tonight with the loss of three lives, a peace officer, including more civilian and first responder injuries. My thoughts are with the families and communities impacted as we wait for details surrounding this devastating event.
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

...but then a diverse workforce is further exploited to work in substandard facilities that do not place their health or autonomy first. We need to close Smith Foundry now, and seek both justice for residents, and a just transition for impacted workers.
Not only does a majority non-white district (62B 56% Black, Indigenous, people of color) experience some of the worst air and land pollution in the state (East Phillips was designated a priority EPA superfund site for arsenic contamination in 2007)... 3/4
This mode of residential industrial manufacturing is outdated and we have a responsibility to residents to buy them out, require more of the MPCA, and provide the regulatory tools for cities to address the issue locally. 2/4
