Omar Fateh for Mayor
& Aisha Chughtai for City Council in Ward 10

Minneapolis is a city of renters. We need elected officials who answer to us — not landlords, developers, corporations, and the lobbyists who represent their economic interests.

In preparation for the 2025 City of Minneapolis elections, Minneapolis for the Many and Renters for Political Transformation (inquilinxs para la transformacion politica / IX4TP) are working together to ensure our city has representatives who are committed to using their governing power to address the material needs of our multiracial working-class renter base.

IX4TP aims to create, sustain and grow a political home for renters across Minneapolis. They came together to demand transformative housing policies that shift the power in the housing market from the financial sector, back into our communities and neighborhoods. They mobilize renters as a political class and a key voting block, united in commitment to the struggle for a city, state and world where renters live in health, justice and dignity. 

This fall, IX4TP is organizing tenant leaders in buildings that are majority Black, Indigenous and People of Color. These tenant leaders are working with their neighbors and making plans to elect candidates aligned with a bold, progressive housing policy agenda — one that identifies the failures of the current system, and lifts up alternative solutions that challenge increased commodification and privatization of housing. 

This is why Minneapolis for the Many and IX4TP have endorsed Omar Fateh for Mayor and Aisha Chughtai for Ward 10, City Council.

Omar Fateh for Mayor

Sen. Fateh’s housing platform centers the material needs of the most marginalized renters in the City of Minneapolis. He is an unapologetic advocate for rent stabilization, Just Cause eviction protections, Tenant Opportunity to Purchase, building and maintaining public housing, and exploring opportunities to expand social housing in Minnesota.

Minneapolis deserves a Mayor who understands our housing system reflects a history of land theft, displacement, and destruction of BIPOC communities – a Mayor who will be accountable to working-class renters most harmed by this system, not landlords, property owners and developers.

We also need a leader who rejects Mayor Frey’s expensive practice of criminalization in response to homelessness, and commits to compassionate approaches to encampments that center public health and human dignity. Sen. Fateh has stated he will advance a public health approach to encampments, ensuring residents have access to life-saving infrastructure like hand-washing stations, portable bathrooms, running water, safe needle disposal programs, and storage for personal belongings – while working diligently to reduce rental evictions, and build and operate low-barrier shelters that homeless residents WANT to live in while working toward housing.
