@shannon-for-d3.bsky.socialReposted by @beccaforschools.bsky.socialTry to push through a monumentally bad plan to close a fourth of the schools throughout the district?
Prepare to deal with the ire of the Mom Brigade! ✊🏽✊🏽✨
Could not find better folks beside me in this fight.

@beccaforschools.bsky.socialI am grateful for his support and excited to work together for the strong schools his future MPS student, & our current MPS students, deserve!
@beccaforschools.bsky.socialI am so looking forward to partnering with CM Whiting toward our shared goal of thriving Minneapolis Public Schools! CM Whiting has shown his dedication toward our public school students through his role as Washburn coach, and he has already been showing up for our public schools in meaningful ways.
@shannon-for-d3.bsky.socialReposted by @beccaforschools.bsky.socialThanks to everyone who showed up and showed out at the protest at South to end MPS school closures last night! ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
This community has only gotten stronger, our tactics more effective after the ICE invasion.

@ilhanmn.bsky.socialReposted by @beccaforschools.bsky.socialThis is a major decision that will affect kids, families, and educators across our city. MPS should slow down, hear from more families and educators, and delay the vote so we can get this right.
@ilhanmn.bsky.socialReposted by @beccaforschools.bsky.socialI’m a proud Minneapolis Public Schools alum and parent. After talking with MPS families, I’m deeply concerned about the district’s current plan to close 14 or more schools.
@shannon-for-d3.bsky.socialReposted by @beccaforschools.bsky.socialThe MFE rally to Stop the Transformation Plan was wet, but it was packed with people power and resolve! ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
Can’t wait to get to work with @beccaforschools.bsky.social @christin-with-mpls.bsky.social on the MPS school board to build a more sustainable MPS that is accountable to community.
@beccaforschools.bsky.socialYesterday I attended a community feedback session hosted by MPS Leadership. The dissent in the room was overwhelming. Clearly our community does not support this “Transformation Plan!”
@beccaforschools.bsky.socialWould love to see you there!
@beccaforschools.bsky.socialOur schools provide more than just a learning experience, they provide safety and support to us all.
@beccaforschools.bsky.socialYesterday I was proud to stand with @mfelocal59.bsky.social in support of our public schools! The speeches from our MPS community about why their schools are so foundational to their community were moving and emotional. Particularly the remarks from Wellstone and Longfellow students struck me.
@beccaforschools.bsky.socialIt is an honor to be endorsed by labor partners like LiUNA! Our schools affect everyone in our community and solidarity with our workers helps build the strongest community possible!
@beccaforschools.bsky.socialThe common feeling that came up? Everyone from parents, caregivers, guidance counselors, teachers, and students are feeling hurt and left behind right now. We can't move forward with this plan! Come to the next Community Open House so we can hear from you too! McRae Park Gym 10/7, 5:30-7:30PM.
