Nick is an organizer and coalition builder for progressive change running for Minneapolis City Council at a pivotal moment. He is a former Bush Fellow, Civic Engagement Director for the Minnesota Department of Human Rights and he's been a leader in Minnesota on progressive causes for the last decade.
