One day we’ll need to reckon with the question, “How do we reclaim our streets and how do we ensure our streets feel safe for everybody?” One day we’ll need to figure out what it takes for our community to heal. But right now it is time for our community to ensure that this moment is not forgotten and to get to know our neighbors, to keep our communities safe and fight for justice in the streets. Over the last several weeks, and without planning, volunteers and staff with Streets.mn started to take photos as we moved around the Twin Cities. These are some of those photos.
