Time to Act on Police Brutality, MMIW and Operation Safety Net (April 20)
We had much to celebrate at Time to Act tonight. Globally, we celebrated the guilty verdict of former Minneapolis Police Department for the murder of George Floyd. The verdict was swift and found him guilty of all charges including third degree murder. Locally, we celebrated the birthday of one of the Time to Act participants. And then we set out to make change.
We worked on the following actions:
As one attendee said, “each action is just a step, but together we can take many steps.” If you have a minute, please check out the actions. Each includes an issue, script and contact info for target recipients - all of the pieces you need to take time to act at home.
We also talked about Earth Day in Beautiful North Minneapolis, an opportunity to gather and volunteer on Saturday April 24 (from 11am to 3pm) for a neighborhood cleanup starting at Haven’ Housing’s Ascension Place (1803 Bryant Ave Minneapolis MN 55411).
