"Defund the police" became a national rallying cry after George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police in May 2020, with activists calling for cities to shift funding from police departments toward housing, mental health, and community-based safety programs. In Minneapolis, the phrase appeared on signs, murals, and clothing throughout that year's protests. This march took place on November 7, 2020, the day major news networks called the presidential race for Joe Biden, when demonstrators in the city combined election reactions with continued demands for police reform.
