This demonstration over housing and homelessness passed along Hennepin Avenue near Bishops Barbershop, a stretch of Northeast Minneapolis lined with restaurants and retail storefronts. The march took place on November 2, 2020, the night before the U.S. presidential election, as organizers pressed Mayor Jacob Frey's administration on the city's rising number of unsheltered residents. Patio heaters and outdoor seating along the block reflect Minneapolis restaurants' pandemic-era shift to expanded outdoor dining, a practice the city fast-tracked through temporary permitting that year.
