We have learned a lot as a community in the last year and we are having an event in Columbia Heights for people to hear BIPOC speakers from our community and wider area.
This event will help our city grieve the pain of racism and the death of George Floyd.
We also will hear how we can support our neighbors of color during the Trial of Derek Chauvin. We hope this event helps us be a city that heals together so we can ensure all people feel welcome and safe into our community.
