George Floyd Square: Defund MPD, Fuck Trump on Speedway Sign

MPD defund fuck trump at George Floyd Square
George Floyd Square, located at the intersection of Chicago Avenue and East 38th Street in Minneapolis, is shown on August 19, 2020. This site became a community-maintained memorial and protest zone following the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police on May 25, 2020, outside the adjacent Cup Foods. The Speedway gas station sign displays protest messages such as "MPD = DEFUND" and "FUCK TRUMP," while the surrounding area features numerous tributes, graffiti, and art installations. The square functioned as an autonomous zone for a period, serving as a gathering place for activism, remembrance, and community support.
