We’re marking 100 Days of Community in Kingfield - starting March 1, 2021

As we come to 1 year of the Covid-19 pandemic and the beginning of the trial of Derek Chauvin for the murder or George Floyd, Kingfield neighbors are putting together 100 Days of Community – a way to get neighbors connected, have conversations about safety, and come together as a neighborhood for antiracist learning and action for safety beyond policing.

April 21 - With the conviction of Derek Chauvin, we acknowledge that it is still our work to create a just and equitable society where everyone can be safe from police brutality. The work goes on.

self-care/ resiliency/ peace/ community - Imagine it. Learn it. Share it.

What a gift to listen to someone and be able to say - “I never thought of it that way” - because now you can add that into how you think.

When we understand our fears we can find strategies to face them. Avoiding them doesn’t make them go away…

Little Free Libraries have become a great resource for sharing - but walking is another way of sharing community by just being out among others!

The Silent Disco’s that have popped up at 40th and Nicollet have been an ongoing outpouring of joy. Dancing freely and openly is one way to visibly spread joy!

Large events (like Open Streets Nicollet) where thousands would gather have been missed! We look forward to the day when we can safely return - and we get there by all doing our part!

We believe that the BWCA is a vital, unique resource for our state, our country, our world. It is not a place for extractive mining. There are many other ways to put this resource to use to support the economy of northern Minnesota. Recognizing our connection to creation is the starting point for being able to talk about community safety - we are all related.
