Actualizing Equity Recap: From Representation to Co-Governance
In recent election cycles in the Twin Cities, we’ve seen local organizing efforts and groundbreaking campaigns that have elevated leaders of color to local, county and state policy-making positions.

At our first Actualizing Equity event of 2020, we explored these questions with (pictured above, from left) MK Nguyen, Program Manager at St. Paul Promise Neighborhood; Nelsie Yang, St. Paul Ward 6 City Councilmember; Bahieh Hartshorn, Movement Politics Manager at Take Action MN; Chauntyll Allen, St. Paul School Board; and Tram Hoang, Policy Advocate at the Alliance.
