“Stop Environmental Racism” Signs at a Minneapolis March
Taken November 2020
Marchers carried hand-painted signs reading "No Burning Trash" and "Stop Environmental Racism" through Minneapolis on November 7, 2020, the day major news outlets projected Joe Biden as the winner of the presidential race. The demonstration linked opposition to waste incineration and pollution in low-income neighborhoods with the broader wave of marches that followed the election call. Environmental justice organizing in the Twin Cities has long focused on facilities like the Hennepin Energy Recovery Center, a downtown trash-burning incinerator that critics have targeted for its emissions impact on nearby communities of color.
