What is one thing you are going to do to create the more equitable and just city that we all desire?

“My commitment to a more equitable and just city is to call out casual racism in my everyday life. I am usually reluctant to respond to microaggressions, particularly when they come from people I don’t know. I’m learning that we can’t afford to let this harmful “othering” to exist in our community. I refuse to let people speak hatefully about “those people”. “
 
–Chris Hong, KFNA Board Member

“My commitment to a more just Minneapolis is working to ensure people don’t forget the importance of racial equity and the importance of this moment in time.  To that end I plan to be on the 38th street bridge every tuesday from 4:30-5:30 until the end of this year with banners and signs keeping my own commitment right in front of me and hopefully others as well.  Please join me. ”

“I love the Census slogan this year: “Everyone Counts”. It is why I work as the director, community organizer, communications-lead, and chief cook and bottle-washer for KFNA. Every person deserves to be seen, and heard, and validated as a unique human on this strange and wonderful planet that we share. I am committed to continuing to reach out and connect people to each other and other great organizations, and work to see that no one is sitting alone, in despair and hopelessness, because every person has talents and skills to share. Helping others, specifically through volunteering, builds connections and community, bolsters self-esteem, and creates a team mentality and engaging our full community is critical to creating one Minneapolis.”
–Sarah Linnes-Robinson, KFNA Executive Director

“My commitment is, lean into uncomfortable community conversations, engage in conversations that are different from my own, and debate systems I have long thought were okay, or for our best interests. Additionally, to lower my often-loud voice, lifting the stories of the injustices BIPOC individuals experience every day. Lastly, continue to be an engaged community member, with the goal of making our community work for everyone, not just for me.”
–Derek Holt, KFNA Board Member
