Curfew updates
Details from the City of St. Paul here: "A curfew will be in effect tonight, Monday, April 12 at 7 p.m. until tomorrow, Tuesday, April 13 at 6 a.m. The curfew is imposed in all Saint Paul public places. During curfew, no travel is allowed in any public street or place. Exemptions include all law enforcement, fire and medical personnel, members of the news media, and other personnel authorized by the City of Saint Paul, Minnesota Department of Public Safety, Minnesota State Patrol, or Minnesota National Guard. Other exemptions include individuals traveling directly to and from work, seeking emergency care, fleeing danger, or experiencing homelessness. Tonight’s sunset begins the month of Ramadan. Individuals traveling to and from prayer services are exempt. Individuals traveling to and from COVID vaccination appointments are also exempt."
Funding Our Lives for Public Safety
West Side Community Organization believes public safety means affirming lives – not taking them. To affirm lives – especially those of Black, Indigenous, and people of color communities (BIPOC) most affected by racism, economic injustice, and police violence – our city must redirect resources from the Saint Paul Police Department (SPPD) to increase funding for accessible, safe, affordable, and public housing; community services; public education; healthcare; jobs; and other programs that enable us to be well, make ends meet, and create a vibrant community.

Que en paz descanse, Daunte Wright.
