Minneapolis Bike Trail Sticker: “Prisons Are For Burning.”

Prisons are for burning sticker in Minneapolis
A sticker with the slogan "Prisons Are For Burning." is affixed to a lamppost along a Minneapolis bike trail. The graphic depicts a prison structure with flames. This slogan gained prominence during the 2020 Minneapolis Uprising, a period of civil unrest following the murder of George Floyd. The uprising saw widespread protests and calls for systemic change, including the abolition of prisons. The sticker serves as a visual artifact of that period of activism and dissent.
