DECEMBER 2ND TOWNHALL
A UNIFIED VISION FOR GEORGE FLOYD SQUARE
Join CANDO, the Community Visioning Council (CVC), PLEDGE, Listen Media, Black Visions and local businesses and organizations at the Community Visioning Council’s Townhall presenting a Unified Vision for George Floyd Square! Held at Phelps Park Gym in south Minneapolis, the townhall will begin at 6pm and feature an interactive experience allowing community to interact and ask questions. This event follows an intensive year of organizing across culture, race, class and difference.
The residents and businesses in the Central, Bryant, Bancroft and Powderhorn park neighborhoods have come to agreement on a unified vision.
The Community Visioning Council (CVC) nominated this vision - called the "Community Streets Plan" - for a vote on October 18th. The vote included residents, community groups, activists, memorial caretakers, nonprofit organization staff/board members and business owners from the 38th & Chi Business Coalition. The vote was unanimous. Before presenting the plan to the Minneapolis City Council for a vote, the CVC chose to bring the plan to the broader community one last time for a final round of feedback and conversation at a townhall.
The CVC will be serving dinner (there will be something for all dietary needs) and will provide a presentation to the community. This is a space for Questions & Answers. Come learn about the community's progress and plans for moving forward. Bring a neighbor with you!
