“My commitment to a more just Minneapolis is working to ensure people don’t forget the importance of racial equity and the importance of this moment in time.  To that end I plan to be on the 38th street bridge every tuesday from 4:30-5:30 until the end of this year with banners and signs keeping my own commitment right in front of me and hopefully others as well.  Please join me. ”

“My commitment is to spend current time working with my current business to put together “coping kits” to help children affected by losses in their community. I will be spending time volunteering to assist local organizations, sitting in the discomfort of awareness and listening to people’s concerns to better understand my own neighborhood and city. ” –Mike Skinner, KFNA Board Member [Read more…]

Call to Elected Officials to support PPNA in their call for a coordinated effort to provide short and long-term solutions for the Powderhorn Sanctuary

By

  • Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey
  • Ward 8 City Councilperson Andrea Jenkins
  • Hennepin County Commissioner Marion Greene
  • Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board President Jono Cowgill
  • MN Governor Tim Walz and Lt Governor Peggy Flanagan
  • MN Commissioner of Health Jan Malcolm

From:

Kingfield Neighborhood Association (KFNA) Executive Committee

Subject: Please support PPNA in their call for a coordinated effort to provide short and long-term solutions for the Powderhorn Sanctuary

We stand in solidarity with the Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association (PPNA) and are writing to demonstrate our support of their requests for collective action from the City, County, State, and Parks Board to support the residents currently living in Powderhorn Park. We support PPNA’s guiding statement and petition:

PPNA’s call for collective action to implement both short and long-term solutions to address homelessness and instability in our City align with KFNA’s values and mission. Supporting affordable housing is something that KFNA has done via policy, and action, since 2003.

We urge our elected officials to meet the urgency of this need in the City of Minneapolis.

Thank you for your service and for your consideration of our request.

Sincerely,

Kingfield Neighborhood Association (KFNA) Executive Committee

   Chris DesRoches, President, Chris@kingfield.org

   Sarah Tschida, Vice President, SarahTschida@kingfield.org

  Alice Johnson, Treasurer, Alice@kingfield.org

“I love the Census slogan this year: “Everyone Counts”. It is why I work as the director, community organizer, communications-lead, and chief cook and bottle-washer for KFNA. Every person deserves to be seen, and heard, and validated as a unique human on this strange and wonderful planet that we share. I am committed to continuing to reach out and connect people to each other and other great organizations, and work to see that no one is sitting alone, in despair and hopelessness, because every person has talents and skills to share. Helping others, specifically through volunteering, builds connections and community, bolsters self-esteem, and creates a team mentality and engaging our full community is critical to creating one Minneapolis.”
–Sarah Linnes-Robinson, KFNA Executive Director
