Greetings friend,
My name is Emilio César Rodríguez, and I am running to represent Ward 3 on Minneapolis' City Council.
I am an expert grassroots organizer whose worked to further immigrant rights through the Drivers’ Licenses for All and North STAR Act movements, movements that represent a resounding call for community safety for all Minnesotans.
However, the powers that be do not stand up for our shared values. Some have yet to keep up with the times. Our need for housing is neglected, wildfire smoke chokes our lungs, seniors ration their healthcare, and immigrants are torn from their homes and families. In the face of Trump's presidency, our city must be adequately prepared—materially and ideologically—for the devastation wrought by fascism and bigotry.
As students, parents, and teachers; young people and seniors; cyclists, public passengers, and drivers; business-owners, entrepreneurs, and customers; citizens and immigrants; renters and homeowners; and as those who yearn for a just and sustainable world, we must have each others’ backs and fight for a brighter future, together.
We invite you to join our movement for a more transparent, productive, and forward-thinking city council. I ask you to invest in our grassroots campaign by contributing $30 or a monthly contribution of any amount to realize our shared vision. Our city’s great potential belongs to us!
