Several hundred people gathered in downtown Minneapolis on January 9, 2021, to protest racial injustice at a rally that featured speeches, hand-drawn signs, and chats. Protesters connected Dolal Idd's death on December 30, 2020, to George Floyd and Jacob Blake, a black man shot and wounded by Kenosha, Wisconsin police in 2020. The week prior to the downtown Minneapolis gathering, a Wisconsin prosecutor declined to press charges against the police officer that shot Blake, which protesters at the rally objected to.
