Zach For The People - Minneapolis City Council

HERE TO BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT

MINNEAPOLIS CITY COUNCIL WARD 13 CANDIDATE

We envision a Minneapolis that invests in the needs of its people. These needs include affordable housing, structurally supported public safety alternatives, protecting our green spaces and expanding social protections that protect all our residents. As a life long South-sider, Zach has made a career out of fighting for this vision and the needs of the people.

Zach has led campaigns, created laws and organized movements that have created lasting change. He has worked deeply with community and in the capitol as a legislative aide, with major policy wins, such as The Beyond Bullying Bill which ensures our schools are safe learning environments for every Minnesotan, no matter their race, religion, sexuality, gender, or disability.

We need a public safety system that works for everyone in Minneapolis & right now our public safety system is failing! We have spent 150 million tax payer dollars on police misconduct, PTSD claims & pensions. Our police budget went 36 up million dollars in two years with nothing to show for it other than two consent decrees.

We are experiencing a housing and homelessness crisis!

Our policies address housing disparities and promote affordable, accessible housing options, and ensure that all individuals and communities have access to secure, safe and stable housing.

We will stand up for homeowners and create green incentives for homeowners while ensuring equitable access to the benefits of homeownership and take measures to prevent homelessness in Minneapolis.

We need a radical, comprehensive and holistic approach to tackle the biggest problem we face as a planet. Minneapolis can become a beacon of what’s possible in green energy, focusing on creating a sustainable future, reducing emissions, promoting renewable energy, fostering sustainable practices and ensuring a just transition.
