Help us raise money

On May 25th, 2020, George Floyd was murdered at the hands of the Minneapolis Police Department at the intersection of 38th Street E and Chicago Avenue S. The footage of his death sparked global protests, calls for justice, demands for policy reform, and a need for collective grieving. George's death inspired the world to stand in solidarity for racial justice and spotlighted the pervasive impacts of systemic racism. 

At the intersection of 38th Street E and Chicago Avenue S in Minneapolis, MN remains a community of a people who are taking back their power -- the power our governing systems have historically tried to take away. This location serves as a place of healing, grieving, reflecting, empowerment, and planning. This location is what we call George Floyd Square.

Rise And Remember was established to bring together members of George Floyd's family, the local community, and the world to demand and pursue justice. Our work ensures that the stories of the community are told within their original narratives and used as educational resources for generations to come. Rise And Remember is and will continue to be a living memorial that inspires all people to pursue justice.

Rise And Remember is a cultural heritage preservation organization that exists to conserve stories of resistance to racial injustice. We curates spaces for all people to grieve, pay their respects, and be a voice for justice and equity. 

Our vision is to enhance collaborative community development in Minneapolis and inspire people to pursue racial justice & equity worldwide.

Rise And Remember is raising funds to support the family of George Floyd as they design a memorial to be installed where he took his last breath. The estimated initial cost for the memorial is $250,000. We are hoping to use this race just days before George Floyd's and our organization's birthday on October 14th to help raise a smaller goal of $10,000.
