Minneapolis Forward Community Now Coalition

The Minneapolis Forward: Community Now Coalition is a cross-sector coalition that will help transform Minneapolis into a stronger, equitable, inclusive, resilient, and innovative city. Participants reflect leadership from Twin Cities businesses, cultural institutions, community organizations, and foundations.

This coalition is rooted in the expertise and experiences of Historically Black people, Indigenous communities, People of Color, and Immigrants, including youth, in coalition with other leaders within private, philanthropic, and public sectors. Together, the coalition is leading with civility, justice, and an intentional approach to delivering systemic solutions while doing this work differently.

The co-chairs and the core strategy team of the Minneapolis Forward: Community Now Coalition lead the creation of the specific solutions, strategies, and tactics that will yield immediate and long-term economic transformation, recovery, and healing of Minneapolis. The members represent impacted businesses and associations, cultural institutions, business and economic development partners who are deeply rooted in and accountable to community. Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) leadership are central and at the forefront of this work for the entire city.
