Justice for George Floyd & Daunte Wright

The murders of George Floyd and Daunte Wright by law enforcement is a tragedy that continues a long pattern of police violence against Black people in the Twin Cities. Healing will be long and difficult, and it must end with a total re-imagining of public safety in our communities.

Protesting for justice? Make sure you know your rights.
