The future of I-94 is being decided behind closed doors. Join us to collectively and publicly raise our voices for environmental, racial, and climate justice!
MnDOT is trying to shut out the public by holding a virtual-only meeting at an inaccessible time, and limiting public comment about I-94, an issue that affects every person in the Twin Cities. But we know the people deserve a say, and our voices are strongest together. Join us on January 17th at the Minneapolis Central Library to observe the meeting and support each other as we give public comment. We have this once-in-a-generation opportunity to repair the harms of urban highways and invest in infrastructure like the Twin Cities Boulevard that actually works for the people and the planet. That’s what we are fighting for, no matter how hard MnDOT tries to limit our options and maintain the status quo.

The meeting starts at 9:30am, with public comment scheduled at the end of the meeting.

Trump’s extreme right-wing agenda will be an assault on workers’ rights, immigrant rights, the environment, trans people, healthcare access, and will mean continued funding for the genocide in Gaza.

As we prepare to fight for a future that centers the needs of the people over the interests of the wealthy elite, it is crucial that we be connected and united.
