🚨 The 2021 ordinance passed by Minneapolis voters to move rent control forward has no timeframe for when an ordinance and ballot measure can be placed on the ballot. Backroom deal-making in City Hall won’t work to get STRONG #rentcontrol 📢 #minneapolis
Our first @mpls4RC Renter’s Assembly of 2023! We heard from organizers, educators & union members in our coalition 📢🏢✊ Powerful discussion on actions to win Strong Rent Control within City Hall, in apartment buildings, & block-by-block in Minneapolis! tinyurl.com/StrongRentCont…
Saturday! 11am, see info below and sign our petition tinyurl.com/StrongRentCont…

See YOU at our Renters Assembly on January 28 at the Downtown Minneapolis Public Library at 11am to advance the action plan for strong rent control! 🏘️ 📍Tinyurl.com/JanRentersAsse… 👊Stay in touch by signing & sharing our petition: tinyurl.com/StrongRentCont… #minneapolis #housing
Is Now the Time to Compromise? The Mpls council-appointed workgroup on rent control sent 2 recommendations to City Hall. Immediately, Mayor Frey broke with his own process, & pledged to veto any proposal that caps rent increases at 3%. Read our statement tinyurl.com/NotTimeToCompr…
We must organize a mass movement of working-class renters & homeowners. It’s not possible for a workgroup dominated by landlord lobbyists & big developers to come up with a strong rent control policy. Sign the petition. ✍️📢 #rentcontrol #minnesotawinter tinyurl.com/StrongRebtCont…
🎉Open Streets on West Broadway! Tremendous support, with 200 signatures on our petition for strong rent control & many people wanting to get involved. More 📸 on IG 📢 Our table was anchored by members of @MFT59 @mnycollective Harrison Neighborhood Association ✊✊🏾 #endofsummer

Our first @mpls4RC Renter’s Assembly of 2023! We heard from organizers, educators & union members in our coalition 📢🏢✊ Powerful discussion on actions to win Strong Rent Control within City Hall, in apartment buildings, & block-by-block in Minneapolis! tinyurl.com/StrongRentCont…
Minneapolis Needs Strong Rent Control! 📣🏢🏡 it’s been such a joy talking to so many renters: small business owners, elders, students + families up & down Cedar / Riverside Ave we hope to see you tomorrow at @mpls4RC’s Currie Park community gathering with food, art + music! 💛
📢 Building the Fight for Rent Control! ✊✊🏾 🗓 Saturday, May 21st, 3–5pm 📍Currie Park, 500 South 15th Avenue, Mpls, MN 55454 (will be inside the Coyle Center if it rains) 📢 Hosted by Cedar-Riverside Community Council, Mpls United for Rent Control, Minnesota Youth Collective
The city thinks it is proper to include, even pay, status quo political supporters, like the Mayor’s public safety work group or A Mothers Love having a community outreach contract - but treat working class and peoples advocates like they are “too political” to be at the table
Read our statement on the conservative-majority on Minneapolis City Council voting to keep our broad coalition off the rent control work group because we fight for a strong rent control policy. 1/2
Thank You to neighbors @HarrisonMPLS @hennepin4people and @mpls4RC for your support this weekend! We knocked over 300 doors! Yesterday, we talked to neighbors about Bring Back 6th! In @MplsWard8 we knocked to ask @andreaforward8 to publicly commit to the @CityMinneapolis design
Today I woke up with a heavy heart thinking about how Dolal Idd was 23 years old; Daunte Wright, 20 years old; Amir Locke, 22 years old. So much life ahead of them, taken too soon. Please keep their families and loved ones in your heart in the days ahead. #JusticeforAmirlocke
Come listen to me (and people a lot smarter than me) talk about rent control and our CURA study.
On Sunday, hear from @tony_damiano, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the UMN-Center for Urban & Regional Affairs (CURA), the group that worked on the rent control study commissioned by Mpls. He will talk us through rent control, help to answer questions, but we won’t stop there!
The public deserves transparency, and transparent, inclusive processes are more likely to create better outcomes! Join @mpls4RC to demand the city do it right
At the first meeting of the new Council, a vote was taken for what appeared to be an open-ended, non-transparent & internal process on rent control. This raises real alarm bells about what our fight for strong rent control is up against in City Hall. Swipe to read more 🚨✊✊🏾
"It is personal for me when we talk about the rise in violence in this city, but we cannot talk about how violent it is when a person is evicted and can’t find housing again for the next decade of their life." - @aishaforward10 Lots more in the press release + follow @mpls4RC:
Read our release on today’s action, where around 60 renters, union, & community members were joined by #Minneapolis City Council Members to support strong #rentcontrol: bit.ly/Jan10Action ✊✊🏾📢 @robin4mpls @jeremiah4north @aishaforward10 @JChavezMpls @ElliottForWard1
ICYMI: In their first week in office, new Minneapolis LP members @robin4mpls, @ElliottForWard1, @jeremiah4north, @JChavezMpls, & @aishaforward10 committed to fight for rent control that: ✅ Is universal ✅ Caps increases at 3% ✅ Has no vacancy decontrol startribune.com/city-must-stan…
Along with moving a people-centered policy agenda inside City Hall, I'm excited to organize alongside mass movements within our communities. I was excited to join @mpls4RC this morning to speak about my support for strong rent control:
The rent is too damn high (not capped at 3% with no exemptions or carve outs) and the windchill is too damn low (-25°F)! Thanks everyone who came out to the rally this morning!
The people are saying it: RENT CONTROL 🪐 Universal 🧢 3% Cap 🚫 No Vacancy Decontrol Thanks @mpls4RC for continuing the fight for renters and working class people across our city.
Inmaugurarion day means it’s time to come out with @mpls4RC and let elected leaders know what Strong Rent Control means. See y’all today at 10:30!
🚨SLIGHT TIME CHANGE, Rally starts at 10:30 am MONDAY! RSVP bit.ly/MURCJAN10 A couple notes as we prepare: We aim to have the safest action possible! As such, we will be gathering outside, marching frequently to stay warm, and request all in attendance to wear masks.
I will also be speaking at an Inauguration Day Rent Control Rally by @mpls4RC about why a strong universal rent control policy is one of my top priorities this term. Join us at the rally if you can! 👉🏿 facebook.com/events/1829228… 🧵7/
Join us and @mpls4RC Monday for a rally in support of rent control!facebook.com/events/1829228…
@mpls4RC knows! Get involved in the fight for Strong Rent Control today! mpls4rentcontrol.org/#petition
Just remember... when landlords start criticizing #RentControl, they don't care about solving the housing affordability crisis. They only care about charging higher and higher rents and making bigger and bigger profits. Rent control reins them in. bostonglobe.com/2021/12/21/bus…
This morning I recalled that I had a former boss who made fun of me because I lived in public housing. Although a peculiar recollection to have at this time, it only intensifies my desire for social justice. ❤️🔥 #RentControl
Working-people cannot compete with big business investors in the marketplace, but if we get organized, we can shift the power in society to fight for what we need. Strong rent control cuts across working people getting priced out of our neighborhoods.
Clarification: Rent stabilization won directly in St. Paul. The possibility of rent stabilization won in Minneapolis but it would have to go to the city council. Read the article for all the details of the campaigns.
