Minneapolis’ Options for Staying Informed about the Chauvin Trial

April 8, 2021 By Sarah

The City plans will hold regular briefings on Thursdays (10:30 a.m. via City social media: Twitter, Facebook and Youtube) throughout the trial of Derek Chauvin who is charged with murder in the death of George Floyd. Briefings will also be streamed live on the City’s Facebook page. You can also get trial news from Operation Safety Net at weekly press conferences on Operation Safety Net social media and posted to the website Mondays at 2 p.m.

Briefing highlights

  • The community should expect to see a gradual increase in police and National Guard presence to ensure public safety as the Derek Chauvin trial progresses. Opening statements in the trial began Monday, March 29.
  • Minneapolis 911 provided information about how the department has increased capacity to respond to large-scale emergency situations and is working to educate the community about when to call 911.
  • Residents and businesses are encouraged to connect to their neighborhood organizations as another way to stay informed. Find neighborhood organization information on the City’s website.

Mental Health Resources

As the trial of former officer Derek Chauvin progresses, many community members may be seeking ways to cope with trauma and retraumatization.

The City has created this list of mental health support resources to help residents and their loved ones.

You can also explore the cultural wellness directory, a directory of trauma informed wellness services that uses the power of community members to heal and to build community.

Additional resources from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA):

·                    Coping with grief, a resource for survivors of community violence, including understanding grief in adults and children.

·                    Tips for Survivors of a Disaster or Other Traumatic Events: Coping with Retraumatization

·                    SAMHSA training and educational resources for response and recovery after disasters and traumatic events.

 

City moves forward on new mobile behavioral health crisis teams

The City of Minneapolis is moving forward on a pilot project that will serve as an alternative to police response to support people experiencing a crisis. This pilot project will send an unarmed, highly trained and empathetic team to properly assess their needs and provide appropriate care or support while avoiding unnecessary hospitalization and criminalization. Behavioral health response teams will include behavioral health providers and may include emergency medical technicians or emergency medical services. Learn more about this work on the City’s website.

Butter Book Conversation: ‘Caste’ by Wilkerson

March 16, 2021 By Sarah

  • Tuesday, March 16, 2021
  • 5:00 PM- 6:00 PM
  • Zoom

Hosted by Butter Bakery Cafe

To connect with Kingfield’s 100 Days of Community, Butter is offering a set of conversations using Isabel Wilkerson’s book Caste. Join neighbors to consider ways systems of caste are found and active in Kingfield. For March we’ll aim to cover areas from the first third of the book – We’ll continue the conversations on the third Tuesdays of April and May.

You don’t need to have read the book to benefit from the conversation! And you can join in for any or all three events and still find something to activate you to work for equity.

For more information you can contact Dan at the cafe or by email –

Apply for emergency rent assistance from Hennepin County; deadline to apply is Friday, March 19 at 12 pm

March 15, 2021 By Sarah

Hennepin County is offering emergency rent assistance. Households with unpaid rent and low incomes may qualify. The deadline to apply is noon Friday, March 19. Apply now.

While you can’t be evicted for not paying rent during Gov. Walz’s executive order, rent is still due. When the order is lifted, people owing unpaid rent could be at risk for eviction.

This is an initial short-term program for urgent needs. More help will be offered through a statewide COVID-19 Emergency Rent Assistance program opening later this month.
