Join us for community perspectives on the upcoming trial of Derek Chauvin

On March 8, 2021, the trial will begin for former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd. Co-defendants (and former officers) J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane, and Tou Thao will stand trial for Mr. Floyd’s murder beginning on August 23, 2021. In response to community identified needs for support leading up to and during these trials, the Legal Rights Center is implementing a Community Action Plan to provide legal and restorative practice resources to our communities. As part of that work we are hosting a forum to give voice to our communities' perspectives on "justice" and the upcoming trial. ​

Please join us, and out guests; Kevin Reese, Nekima Levy Armstrong and Mary Moriarty as we deconstruct definitions of justice and create a space to continue processing our collective response to the murder of George Floyd. You can register here, or learn more via our Facebook Events page.
