In solidarity against Uptown CRG violence

7/20/2021

 
The Legal Rights Center stands with CUAPB, RJN, TCC4J and all other concerned community members in opposition to the use of private military contractors against protestors, those holding space, and community members in the Uptown neighborhood. We are extremely troubled by reports that employees of Conflict Resolution Group (‘CRG’) have used needless and excessive force on multiple occasions, causing severe injuries to innocent people. And we are very concerned that the work of CRG is being done in coordination with the city of Minneapolis. That the Minneapolis Police Department did not intervene when CRG attacked the residents they are sworn to protect further erodes what little trust this community has in its police department. The violence against our community must end now.

​The Legal Rights Center remains committed to working alongside the community to address issues of equity, racial injustice and all forms of oppression. We will continue to support the Twin Cities community by working with the community to host teach-ins, community forums, advocating for youth, and representing the most vulnerable members of our communities in criminal court.
