Minnesota Daily editors removed resident voices from Aleezeh Hasan‘s article the day after it was published because MPHA complained about resident and leaders’ voices being heard. As a result, editors intentionally reported inaccuracies to push MPHA and Minneapolis elected officials’ narrative to normalize MPHA’s privatization and displacement plan through RAD at Elliot Twins.This plan is in line with Trump and Carson’s housing agenda. The reporter Aleezah Hasan told the truth and the real experiences of residents who are facing eviction but that made MN Daily editors too uncomfortable since they are not POC and don’t want to understand what the residents are going through. They related to MPHA more than the residents. In addition, even though the editors verified that the elected officials DG&PHC invited to the meeting did not show up, the editors also removed that fact to bend to the wishes of the DFL and local politicians. This is not journalism. MN Daily consistently silences POC voice and have no integrity in our communities.
