Nokomis East Response:
NENA has heard from many of you expressing pain, sadness, apprehension, confusion, anger, and fear about how our City may be impacted by the upcoming trial. The NENA Board and staff share these feelings with you all. Although we have not heard anything specific about Nokomis East, we want you to feel prepared with some hyper-local resources.
- Nokomis East Info Sharing Facebook Group – Over the next weeks, NENA will be collecting and sharing important information about trial preparations on our Nokomis East Info Sharing Facebook Group. All are welcome to join and all posts must abide by NENA’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement of Principle. We will also share information via our e-news.

- Nokomis Anti-Racist Neighborhood Group and NENA’s Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Committee
- Resident-Led Initiatives – Planning an event, gathering, meeting, vigil, or something else? Let NENA know and we will help promote!
- Nokomis East Neighbor-to-Neighbor Communication Project – This fall, volunteers and NENA set up a new communication project for Nokomis East. If a curfew is called in Minneapolis, NENA will launch this Slack platform for neighbors to communicate about activity in the neighborhood, similar to how we worked together last summer. All posts must abide by NENA’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement of Principle.At this time, government officials are not expecting the need to call a curfew. However, if one is called, NENA will communicate the launch of the new communication project through e-news and on the Nokomis East Info Sharing Facebook Group.
