🤍🇳🇴My heart is with the people of Norway, the Royal Family, and our friends at Norway House as they mourn the passing of King Harald V.

His life was defined by service, dignity, and a belief in bringing people together. That legacy will endure far beyond Norway.

Here in Ward 6, Norway House has carried that same spirit forward - bringing neighbors together and creating a place for community, culture, and conversation.

We join all those mourning his loss and honoring a life of service.
—CVP Jamal Osman (W6, DFL)

It is with a heavy heart that we at Norway House join the people of Norway and those all over the world in mourning the passing of our Royal Patron, His Majesty King Harald V. His Majesty was a deeply cherished symbol of the enduring bond between Norway and the United States, and his lifelong dedication to inclusion and service will forever inspire us. Our thoughts and deepest prayers are with the Royal Family and all who feel this profound loss.
- The Norway House and The Norwegian American Team ❤ 🇳🇴

Please join us in ways to gather and remember, together:
• Flowers can be placed in front of "Seeds"—our sister-city pinecone sculpture with Sotra, Norway, and a symbol of connection and immigration—on the plaza at Norway House. Condolences can be shared in a guest book inside Norway House.

• A special church service will be held at Mindekirken, our neighbor, at 10:00 am on Sunday, followed by a community gathering to sing the Norwegian national anthem on the plaza at 11:00 am. Overflow seating will be available at Norway House following the service.

Today at City Hall, far‑right racist Jake Lang showed up again and drove two cars onto the sidewalk toward a crowd. Things got tense, and pepper spray was used. Police moved the cars away from people.

Some folks say police were protecting him. Police say they moved the cars first because arresting people in the middle of a crowd wasn’t safe. Later, both cars were stopped, and all seven people inside — including Jake Lang — were arrested for rioting.

My view is simple: He tried this in January and failed. He tried again today and failed again. Minneapolis doesn’t welcome racism or chaos.

Stay safe!

📢✊🏾Safer neighborhoods are not built by one person, one office, or one agency. They are built when people show up, speak honestly, listen to one another, and decide to work together.

That is what we have been doing across Ward 6 and the city - and this Sunday, the conversation continues.

I’ll be joining neighbors, community leaders, public safety officials, and fellow Council Members - Elizabeth Shaffer & Aisha Chughtai - for a Community Safety Panel on Nicollet Avenue.

👉🏾We may not agree on every solution. We don’t have to. What matters is that we keep coming back to the things we share: every neighbor deserves to feel safe, every community deserves to be heard, and government has a responsibility to turn listening into action.

📅 Sunday, Aug. 23
⏰ Doors at 5:30 p.m. | Panel at 6 p.m. | Q&A at 7 p.m.
📍 Plymouth Congregational Church - Conn Theater
1900 Nicollet Ave. - Door #3 on Nicollet

👍🏾Come with your questions. Come with your ideas. Come ready and be a part of the work.

This is not the first time James O’Keefe and Project Veritas have come after our community. In 2020, they pushed unverified claims about Minneapolis elections and targeted Somali and Muslim leaders with misleading videos. Now, they are back—dressing in Muslim clothing, using fake accents, impersonating voters, and secretly recording election workers.

This was not journalism. It was a political stunt meant to spread fear and misinformation about our elections.

As a Council Member representing a large Muslim community, I know how dangerous it is when people use someone’s faith and identity as a prop for political theater. Our community has already faced enough hate and fear. We should not have to deal with this kind of anti-Muslim behavior.

State officials are reviewing what happened. There must be accountability if laws were broken. Minneapolis will not accept racism, hate, or misinformation in our community.
