“MN Families Supporting Families Against Police Violence,” “Justice Squad,” and other groupings of families and anti-police violence organizations around the country have come together under the umbrella of “Take A Knee Nation.”
They are responding to Floyd’s call by inviting families who have experienced loss as a result of police violence to join a National Mothers March and weekend in Minneapolis/St.
The weekend will start on Saturday in Minneapolis with a series of workshops for the families and spouses and relatives who have lost a loved one to police violence.
Following the workshops will be a convening of the families who have lost loved ones to police violence, giving them the opportunity to support one another in their advocacy for justice for their loved ones, share one another’s grief, organize and unite as one voice.
Take A Knee Nation is well known for bringing the impact of police violence on families to the attention of the nation during its 2018 Take A Knee Conference on Super Bowl weekend in Minneapolis.
