Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara and Mayor Jacob Frey say a strategy to prevent homeless encampments from forming is working. Police have closed 17 encampments since implementing a so-called special order in January, according to an email update from the city. Chief O'Hara said in a recent LinkedIn post that there are now “zero significant encampments” in the city and that the policy has reduced crime in south Minneapolis. A government dashboard of active encampments showed there were 15 as of Tuesday with 27 residents total. MPR News host Nina Moini talks with Chief O'Hara about what police are doing differently.

Community activist Harry “Spike” Moss, 78, and Plymouth Avenue North share a historic connection in the struggle for civil rights of African Americans in Minneapolis. When Plymouth Avenue erupted in turmoil in the late 1960s, Moss was there to decry the racial oppression and discrimination that sparked the flames. Moss was also heavily involved with The Way and an alternative school called The City Inc., two organizations on and near Plymouth Avenue that helped improve the lives of African Americans. On Tuesday, Moss was back on the avenue in front of 400 people on hand to watch the city honor Moss by renaming a stretch of Plymouth Avenue as “Spike Moss Way.” “I need to publicly say thank you for everybody that stood up with me; everybody that marched with me; everybody that's fought side by side with me,” Moss said. Speaking from a covered stage located not far from where The Way once stood — a site which is now the 4th Precinct Police Station — Moss singled out a few people who helped him throughout his life. He gave credit to his cousin, Richard Harris, who traveled from Davenport, Iowa, for being “the first person that directed me as a little boy.”Harris and Moss spent summers together in Missouri when they were youngsters.“No matter what I did, he told me what was right and what was wrong. He never let me make any mistakes,” Moss said.When Moss moved to Minneapolis, he would find new mentors like boxing coach Ray Wells. He told Moss' mother he would train and take care of her son.Wells didn't just train Moss to box, he taught Moss valuable life lessons, namely, no smoking, no drinking, no drugs. “I have lived that life that Ray Wells gave me,” Moss said of his days protesting on the streets. “When I started marching, he would always take the right side of my shoulder to protect me, and he would physically protect me. And he did that my whole life.”Artists, activists, elected officials and close friends took to the stage to honor Moss.Most highlighted how Moss served the community and inspired its members. That list included northsiders such as Terry Lewis who would go on to co-found Flyte Tyme Studios with Jimmy “Jam” Harris; musician Andre Cymone whose mother Bernadette Anderson not only took in Cymone's bandmate Prince but also mentored Moss and other young activists. “I'm telling you that Spike Moss was the leader, the valiant, brave brother that inspired me and a whole generation,” said Attorney General Keith Ellison. “Your Minnesota president of the Minnesota Senate is Bobby Joe Champion, a disciple of Spike Moss. Your Minnesota attorney general grew up listening to Spike Moss.”While Moss spoke out against discriminatory police practices, Ellison said, Moss also criticized community violence.“So Spike has always been ready to call everybody to account, the government, our own community, everybody,” he said. “He's calling us all to be better all the time.”Ellison thanked Moss for everything he's done for the community.“This whole community owes you a debt of gratitude. This nation owes you a debt. This world owes you a debt,” he said.The attorney general had one last anecdote. “I was in London, England, talking about the George Floyd case, and somebody asked me, ‘How is Spike Moss doing?'” Ellison said. “That's a true story.” The city doesn't usually name streets after people who are still alive — but the city council made an exception and approved the application submitted by Council Member Jeremiah Ellison.“We were able to get it done for Spike now so he can see it,” said Moss' close friend Tyrone Terrill, president of the African American Leadership Council. Terrill said efforts by Sen. Bobby Champion, DFL-Minneapolis, Council Member Ellison, Mayor Jacob Frey and others made the street renaming possible.Spike Moss Way is located between Newton and Lyndale Avenues along Plymouth Avenue.Moss began his advocacy for civil rights in the 1960s and over the decades has focused on violence prevention, including brokering a truce between gang members in the 1990s. He's pushed successfully for Metro Transit to hire Black bus drivers. “This is a bigger victory for the community than [it] is for Spike,” Terrill said. “What it does say to our young people is we should respect Plymouth Avenue even more now.”The community's youth need to understand Moss' personal sacrifice to serve all people, he said.“When you have these jobs as community leaders, community activists, as nationalists, it takes away from your family, from your wife, from your children,” Terrill said. He credited Moss' wife Sharron.“Many times you should be home, but when somebody calls and says, ‘I need help,' then you go.” Moss told the people gathered Tuesday that love was his guide.“To this community, everything I did for you was love. I love my people. I often say in my speeches, ‘I love my people.' I love you when you're up, I love you when you're down,” Moss said. “I might not love all that you do, but you can damn sure bet I love my people.”

The Minneapolis City Council voted to override Mayor Jacob Frey's veto, effectively increasing the pay floor for rideshare drivers, despite threats from Uber and Lyft that would leave the region as a result. In a 10-3 vote, the city council reversed the mayor's veto and increased pay for rideshare drivers. Uber and Lyft say they are following through on their threat and leaving town on May 1, when the ordinance goes into effect. Uber said the Twin Cities will be the only metro area in the United States without Uber services. “We are disappointed the Council chose to ignore data and kick Uber out of the Twin Cities, putting 10,000 people out of work and leaving many stranded,” Uber said in a statement in response. “But we know that by working together with all stakeholders — drivers, riders and state leaders — we can achieve comprehensive statewide legislation that guarantees drivers a fair minimum wage, protects their independence and keeps rideshare affordable.” “This ordinance makes our operations unsustainable, and as a result, we are shutting down operations in Minneapolis when the law takes effect on May 1,” Lyft said in a statement . “We will continue to advocate for a statewide solution in Minnesota that balances the needs of riders and drivers and hope to return to Minneapolis as soon as possible.” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/darien-dunstan3/message
In a vote of 10 to three on Thursday, the Minneapolis City Council overrode Mayor Jacob Frey's veto of an ordinance that raises rideshare drivers' pay and offers them more protections.

St. Paul's city council has yet to formally debate a resolution calling for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war. Council Member Nelsie Yang tried to bring a resolution at Wednesday night's meeting just as Council President Mitra Jalali adjourned, not allowing the resolution to move forward. Yang also took issue with the adjournment, calling it undemocratic. But a spokesperson for Jalali said she was following normal procedure. She's also said she signed onto a letter from public officials asking the White House to call for a cease-fire. This is all happening, of course, in a larger context as constituents demand their local leaders take a stance on what is happening in Gaza. Across the river in Minneapolis, the city council earlier this month overrode a veto by Mayor Jacob Frey to pass their own cease-fire resolution.Joining MPR News Host Cathy Wurzer to talk about this mix of local and global politics is University of Minnesota Political Expert Larry Jacobs.Use the audio player above to listen to the full conversation.Subscribe to the Minnesota Now podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
