“Thousands took to the streets of Minneapolis Thursday as protests against the police killing of George Floyd rocked the city for the third night in a row. Kandace Montgomery, who participated in some of the protests, is executive director of Black Visions Collective, a Black-led, queer- and trans-centering community organization based in the Twin Cities in Minnesota. “We want justice for George Floyd, and we know justice is not enough,” says Montgomery. “Now is really the time for the Minneapolis City Council and mayor to defund the police and invest in community. As well, we are calling for the Minneapolis Police Department to acknowledge the harm of their institution and the ways it has violated the dignity and rights of Black communities and families. Make an official apology.”
