Event Description: 

The Minneapolis City Council recently passed a resolution that strips away our protections from police abuse and brutality when we’re exercising our rights to free speech and public assembly. Did you know their resolution allows the police to:

  • Use rubber bullets when they feel it’s necessary
  • Confiscate or destroy cameras if they can be used for evidence
  • Conceal their identities
  • Infiltrate activist groups and target activists
  • Withhold medical assistance after they attack people

IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT?

If you say, “No!,” then join us! They passed this resolution without giving us a public hearing, but we’re having one anyway!

Rally at the City Hall and tell the City Council they can’t take away our rights without a fight!

FRIDAY, JUNE 25TH

9 A.M.

CITY HALL
350 South 5th Street

Brought to you by a broad coalition of Twin Cities-based activists. For more information on this issue, contact mgresist@minn.net or recycleme2@gmail.com.

Vote Tuesday in primary elections

By Mary Turck , TC Daily Planet

Primary day is Tuesday, September 9. The primary election narrows the field of candidates to one from each party (in party-designated races) or two for each open seat, in non-party-designated races. Each voter may vote on all of the non-party-designated races and in the party primary for candidates of one party only. For example, if a voter chooses to vote in the Independence Party Senate primary, that voter may not cross over to vote in the Democratic Congressional primary. (In the November general election, voters can choose candidates from any party on the ballot) MORE »
