@KatieWhite612 That’s a great question! The parkways definitely come up in our archival work and we similar, if not more pronounced, patterns! But the mapping work itself is a little more challenging because often times the parkways were changing over time

Thanks to MinnPost for covering our recently published research on how racial segregation in Minneapolis shaped the city’s park system!

Very excited to welcome @Colleen67882849 @operezfi and @RebHWalker to our @planningatil, @FAAatIllinois, and @UofIllinois community as Assistant Professors starting this fall! urban.illinois.edu/about-us/news/…

Check out @MinnPost's coverage of MSP-LTER researchers @RebHWalker, @HannahRamer2, @katederickson, and @BonnieKeeler's study on historical racial disparities in Minneapolis park development and access to #urbannature.

You may have heard that species like coyotes are territorial, but it can be hard to visualize what that means. This map shows GPS movements of 11 coyotes (each one a different color) that we've collared and tracked in the TCCFP since 2020, showing clear territory boundaries.

Listen to @RebHWalker discuss her latest journal article on how racial covenants and development in Minneapolis have impacted the physical and social landscape over time. Don't miss out on this interesting episode! #environmentalprivilege #racialcovenants anchor.fm/densecitypod/e…

Our East Phillips community members matter. Native lives matter. Black lives matter. Hmong lives matter. From East Phillips to East Saint Paul, we are going to hold the line because our children deserve it.

There are very few benefits to clearing encampments in public spaces. Doing so is a political decision, with devastating implications. eenews.net/articles/nps-u… #HousingFirst

Police are removing supplies from the Roof Depot occupation site.

An Indgineous-led occupation of the Roof Depot building in the East Phillips neighborhood is underway. If you are able, please consider donating to help support those on the ground at Nenoocaasi Camp. Urban farm, not toxic harm!

Happening Now: LANDBACK Action to Defend & Protect #EastPhillips Neighborhood #Minneapolis #MN Indigenous relatives & allies gathered in ceremony & set up camp to hold space at Roof Depot in #EastPhillips neighborhood #Minneapolis #MN @epni_urbanfarm

RIGHT NOW: About 30 people are occupying the former Roof Depot site in East Phillips. They vow to stay until @CityMinneapolis abandons plans to expand a public works campus here. Demolition of the building, which would pave way for the city’s plans, could begin next week.

@epni_urbanfarm This zoning map (1920) shows how Mpls City gov *intentionally* put pollution in East Phillips. They zoned the majority of the neighborhood as industrial (red and blue), exposing low-income renters (orange) to pollution. The City created this envi racism and now is doubling down

For generations, residents of Minneapolis’ East Phillips neighborhood have lived alongside - and died prematurely due to - multiple sources of municipal and industrial pollution, like arsenic from a defunct pesticide factory and hazardous air pollutants from an adjacent foundry

A historic env. justice struggle is unfolding in Minneapolis this month as the city moves forward with a toxic demolition event on Feb 27 in a heavily polluted neighborhood. The community has its own plans. This fight has spanned a decade, so buckle up for a background thread 🧵

A million thanks to all 300 of you who were able to attend our rally to kick off our card drive earlier today and to our energizing slate of speakers! If you missed it, you can watch the recording here. youtube.com/live/OV_lTg-LN…
