MINNEAPOLIS — Looking for ways to take continual action against racial injustice? Action can take many forms such as speaking out against injustice in your everyday life; having an open conversation with your family and friends about the injustices and inequality that exists and how to effect change; and educating yourself on all that has occurred to bring us where we are today.
Action can also include making a conscious effort to support the local Black-owned businesses in our community that are listed below. If you know of others that should be added, email us at community@kare11.com.
