The families of stolen lives and the community have worked tirelessly together to demand justice for George Floyd. The real legacy of George Floyd will be in the changes we're making in state legislation to get justice for all other stolen lives and to end police violence.
Join us to demand that our legislative bills are passed, justice for ALL stolen lives and most of all to remember the life of George Floyd.

Saint Paul, MN -- When Billy Hughes, an indigenous man, was murdered by the Saint Paul Police Department, MPR (Minnesota Public Radio) published a story with the word "justified" in the headline. Although they were quoting the prosecutors, MPR made a vile mistake in presenting passive language in response to the murder of a person of color. This form of reporting is selective and celebrates the racially biased behavior of police.
This march will go through a very symbolic part of the Twin Cities, and give platform to dozens of BIPOC press, as they address gaping inequities among our current performative platforms of public media.
DEMANDS
- Companies considering themselves "Public Media" are to hire as many, or more, BIPOC employees as they do white employees. Call Center employees not included.
- Companies considering themselves "Public Media" must turn over their cameras to the public at least one day out of the week to have the public film its own stories.
- Diversity is not good enough. Companies considering themselves "Public Media" are to address their complicity in white supremacy by taking white privilege workshops to garner not only awareness of their white power, rank and privilege, but to be able to avidly work to dismantle white supremacy.
- A public apology is not good enough. Companies considering themselves "Public Media" must turn over reports made on bodies of color that have suffered or been murdered at the hands of police brutality, to the families of the victim to be rewritten and rereleased with the family's explicit consent.
- Minnesota Public Radio, Twin Cities Public Television, and Public Broadcasting Service must refrain from use of the word "Public" until these demands are met.

Former NBA star Stephen Jackson was joined by Charles Oakley and Al Harrington on the steps of the Hennepin County Government Center on the evening of Thursday, June 11 speaking to a large crowd gathered to demand justice for George Floyd before a march through downtown Minneapolis. "It's bigger than my brother. And it's bigger than me," he said. "Last time I was here, I seen too many mothers crying that had no justice, that had no Stephen Jackson to speak up for their sons. And so, I feel it's my duty to not only fight for justice for my brother, but to ease the pain of these mothers who never had justice or never had a voice." Jackson went on to say, "Minnesota Police Department, I think ya'll messed up. I think this where ya'll got things f*cked up at. Ya'll didn't know Floyd had a brother that was a professional athlete. Ya'll didn't know he had a brother that was gonna put his life on the line for his brother. But see if they would've paid attention, they would've seen in 2005 when I ran into the stands for my teammate. I am my brother's keeper. And I will be continue to be my brother's keeper. Money never made me. Material things never made me."
