“Bye, Bye Mayor Frey” Sign at Northeast Minneapolis Protest

Jacob Frey has served as mayor of Minneapolis since 2018, following an earlier term on the city council representing the city's Third Ward. His administration drew sustained criticism over its handling of homelessness and encampment closures, as well as its response to policing after the killing of George Floyd in 2020. Protesters gathered outside his residence to demand his resignation, part of a wider pattern of demonstrations that targeted his home throughout that period. The sign's reference to "BLM, NLM, ULM, Justice" points to overlapping coalitions — Black Lives Matter, Native Lives Matter, and allied justice groups — that organized jointly in Minneapolis during 2020.
