Indigenous Minnesotans at the Capitol building in St. Paul, 05/31/2020

This is the side of the protests the news doesn't show. The part where the community comes together and protests peacefully. You can't see in the video, but there are people going around constantly giving out water and snacks to everyone. My fellow medics and I were passing out face masks and offering medical care to those who need it. There have been people cleaning the streets with brooms and garbage bags since day one.

Rest in power George Floyd. You were and are abundantly loved.
