I don’t know why this free service isn’t named, but the Behavioral Crisis Response (BCR) team is available to call for immediate help in moments like this. This is a city service SPECIFICALLY for people needing mental health support. It’s also for all ages to utilize (this is important right now).

Joint statement from the entire Minneapolis City Council.
This is a heartbreaking day for our City. Our hearts are with the students, families, educators, and clergy of Annunciation Catholic Church and School. The entire Minneapolis City Council stands united in the face of this unspeakable attack on our children. We stand with the students, families, educators, clergy, and our entire community grieving not only the lives lost, but also the loss of our sense of safety and security that should come with going to school and gathering in places of worship. Our schools and our faith communities are supposed to be sanctuaries, not places where people fear for their lives. This tragedy is something that has become far too common in our country. Every level of government must act to ensure that these preventable tragedies never happen again. We are committed to working with local, state, federal government, and all other partners to pass meaningful changes to our laws that will make our community safer. Thoughts and prayers cannot be our only response. We condemn those who would use this tragedy to divide our community. In this moment, we must be united in grief, healing, and action. We will continue to stand together with our entire community as we navigate this devastating moment together. Thank you to all first-responders, both law enforcement and emergency medical services, for their quick response to the call and immediate intervention. Their action no doubt prevented this tragedy from becoming even worse. Please hold our city in your hearts as we grieve, begin the healing process, and recommit ourselves to creating a safer future. There will be a vigil tonight at Lynnhurst Park (1345 W Minnehaha Pkwy, Minneapolis, MN 55419) from 8:00–9:00 PM for the victims of the Annunciation Catholic School shooting, organized by Moms Demand Action and Protect MN. Please be mindful as you make your way to the park. Parking in the immediate area is very limited. We encourage those who are able to take public transportation, bik

A government that will spend millions to militarize a city overnight, but won’t feed or house its people, is proving what we already know: our liberation is ours to radically imagine and build for each other.

To MK's point in last repost, a couple yrs ago @rlmartstudio.bsky.social, @zola.bsky.social, Woods Ervin, & I tried to make a case that community control is a fantasy. Writing w/ such gems was a treasure I'll always be grateful for, but I also think we were right. forgeorganizing.org/article/fant...
The Fantasy of Community Control of the Police - The Forge
The firestorm of protest sparked by the murder of George Floyd by the Minneapolis Police Department was historic not only because of its scale – 15-20 million people participated in protests in the U....
