Join the Bridgil each week because Black Lives Matter!
4:30-5:30 PM every Tuesday on the 38th Street Bridge
We gather every Tuesday to remember those lives lost to police violence and the systemic racism it represents. If justice for black people depends on their ability to portray a perfect victim and their murder to be captured on camera, we’re playing a losing game.
Say ALL their names.
Please join us with a mask and a message!
Law enforcement officials leading Operation Safety Net have begun demobilizing National Guard and State Patrol resources in Minneapolis and other Twin Cities locations now that the Chauvin trial has concluded.
State Patrol Col. Matt Langer said the operation is demobilizing in a strategic way but has resources available to be ready if needed. More than 3,000 National Guard service members had been activated for the operation.
Many gatherings, protests, and events will be happening in the coming days. It is important for you to particpate in these actions of protest, healing and support. However, it is important to particpate in ways that keep your own body safe, and protect the safety of others with whom you are gathering.
Please follow these Safe Protest Practices:
Stay aware of your surroundings and have an exit strategy. And above all else know your rights and be prepared to state them loudly and calmly.
There will not be a curfew in Minneapolis tonight, April 14. Leave 911 open for emergencies. Call 612-673-5335 with tips about suspicious activity in Minneapolis that do not require an immediate response.
If you plan to attend vigils or protests tonight please have a safety plan and note curfew in Brooklyn Center is at 10 PM- 6 AM. To be safe please attend with a friend and designate a meeting place if you get separated, let another friend or your family know where you are going, write your name and number and an emergency contact’s name and number on your arm. Also bring your cell phone, a mobile charger, a good quality face mask, water, your ID, safety goggles, a small amount of cash , and a basic first aid kit for your use to assist others.
