Again, another Black man, Daunte Wright, has been murdered by the police, this time in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota -- just 11 miles from where George Floyd was killed by police last year.
Here's what we can do right now: support groups who are doing the work, day in and out -- communities who have been working for decades to stop police violence and create healthy, safe communities for all. Educate yourself about police abolition and how we, together, can reimagine community safety.[1]
Donate to support these local groups in Minnesota, amplify their voices on social media, and learn more about them:

Additionally, if you would like to provide support directly to Duante’s girlfriend and baby, please email the webmaster directly for details on how to do so. Kelly.Ospina@graceuccnj.org.
