Human Rights Commission to host Press Conference on Violence Against Black, Indigenous, and People of Color by Law Enforcement
[Duluth, MN] The City of Duluth Human Rights Commission announces it will hold a press conference on the steps of City Hall on April 13 at 11:00 a.m. in light of continued police violence against Black, Indigenous, and People of Color family, friends, and community members.
The intent of this press conference is to acknowledge this systemic violence, to make a call to action to those not yet engaged in the fight to end it, and work alongside and create space for people impacted by police brutality.
As a follow up to the press conference, the Human Rights Commission invites you to a Community Listening Session regarding police brutality and the increase in hate crimes against Asian Pacific Islander Desi Americans (APIDA).
This will be an opportunity to gather in community to listen, learn, and share with specific intention to make space for the voices of impacted community members and to acknowledge the profound level of grief, hurt, and pain many are experiencing.
