On December 4th, more than 100 demonstrators gathered outside Burger King at the intersection of 34th Street and Nicollet Avenue in South Minneapolis to make their voices heard on two prominent social issues–the struggle for better wages and working conditions for fast food employees and the unjust deaths of people of color at the hands of police across the U.S. The group marched onto I-35W via the 36th Street on-ramp and blocked traffic on the northbound lanes for well over an hour as they made their way downtown toward Minneapolis City Hall.

Community organizer Mica Grimm addressed the crowd of protesters.

Protesters performed a ‘die-in’ shortly after making their way onto I-35W.

Defying police orders to exit the interstate at the Lake Street ramp, the group continued marching toward downtown until they reached Minneapolis City Hall.
