Hi John,
Last summer, Minneapolis and the world rose up for Black lives after George Floyd was murdered by police. The city itself promised to overhaul public safety -- but
much of that promise hasn't been realized.
That's why
Sheila Nezhad is running for mayor.
Sheila was at the center of the uprisings in Minneapolis and the work to reimagine public safety. She helped create the charter amendment that's now on the ballot to disband the institutionalized racism in the Minneapolis police force and create a Department of Public Safety. Now, her race for mayor is one of the biggest in 2021.
Tune in this week to learn about Sheila's organizing efforts, her run for mayor of Minneapolis, and her vision of what it means to thrive in a community free from oppression:
