The claims that they're making in public don't match the reality on the ground of the experience of our residents. They are still terrorizing our communities, kidnapping our neighbors, um, and creating chaos on every corner.

The need for rental assistance is indisputable. There are thousands of families who have lost income from ISIS occupation of Minneapolis and will be evicted without financial assistance.

It is an unfair ask for them to then go and report when we have issues around trusted data privacy and things of that nature to believe that there will be some allocation of funding that is specified just to them because that smells like discrimination.

This $1 million is certainly not going to meet the need, but it is a measure that we can take to lift lift some boats and also leverage future rental assistance.

Every person who we are not able to crowdfund their rent is is someone who is likely to face an eviction. Every single one of these parents, every single one of these people are parents.

I think it's smart for us to vote how we know there'll be success from this council to this community. And I think all 13 of us knows what that is, right? So like anything outside of that to me feels performative.
