Minneapolis Public Works “Jerks” Sticker on Light Pole

A sticker on a Minneapolis light pole reads "All My Friends Bully the... Minneapolis Public Works Jerks." The sticker also states "Suppresses Rebellion. Smashes Belongings. Evicts Unhoused Neighbors. Supports Elite Developers & Gentrifiers. Attacks Community Spaces." This message is a critique of the Minneapolis Public Works department's role in clearing encampments, particularly in the context of the Minneapolis Uprising. The sticker reflects a sentiment of opposition to city policies that displace unhoused individuals and are perceived as favoring development over community needs.
