The evening protest will include speakers with analysis of the day’s and week’s events. There will be a march – no matter how many streets the city tries to close off.

“We will assert our First Amendment rights,” say protest organizers.

The coalition demands are as follows: -- Convict Derek Chauvin and his co-killers of the highest possible charges and give them the longest possible sentence. -- Justice for George Floyd and all stolen lives – convict all killer cops. -- MN legislature must pass the nine police reform bills. And the people need community control of the police (CPAC). -- Drop the charges against the summer protesters, the November MN-646 and the recent Brooklyn Center arrestees. -- End Operation Safety Net! The crimes committed against our people by these goon squads have gone too far. They must be stopped.
