Barricades line Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis's George Floyd Square in August 2021, over a year after the murder of George Floyd. The barricades, erected by community members, served to protect the occupied space. Signs on the barricades reflect ongoing demands for justice, including accountability for law enforcement and opposition to the Line 3 pipeline. The "We Still Demand" message underscores the continued activism and the unresolved issues that fueled the protests.
