Supporting our Communities during the Trials for Former Officers involved in the Murder of George Floyd
On March 8, 2021, the trial for former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin began 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 March 7, 2022.
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.
The Legal Rights Center is currently fundraising and seeking in-kind donations to support implementation of this Community Action Plan. Please consider donating to support this critical community effort.
For more information or to partner in the creation or dissemination of any of these resources,
please contact Sarah Davis, Executive Director.
