Minneapolis Community Watch Area Sticker

Two "Community Watch Area: Police Not Welcome" stickers, associated with the anarchist group CrimethInc., are affixed to a street pole in Minneapolis. The stickers advocate for community self-reliance and distrust of law enforcement, a sentiment that gained prominence during the Minneapolis Uprising of 2020. The text on the stickers emphasizes that trust, respect, and communication are essential for a healthy community and for protecting residents from both uniformed gang members and other suspicious individuals. This form of direct action and messaging reflects a broader historical trend of anti-authoritarian sentiment and community organizing in urban environments.
