Civil Rights Community SocialA Discussion on How to Save the Minneapolis Department of Civil Rights  Thursday, June 11 * 6:00 PM 

Location: Brian Coyle Community Center, 420 15th Avenue S., Minneapolis, 55454  

Earlier this year, Mayor Rybak proposed to cut the entire Complaint Investigation Unit of the City of Minneapolis Civil Rights Department. This unit investigates and processes complaints of discrimination which take place in Minneapolis. The Civil Rights Department uses approximately 1% of the entire city budget. 

 

The event will include poetry, ice cream, short speeches, a community discussion, and an action plan on how to save the department.
