    MNQuiry - S3E1 - Communities United Against Police Brutality - Jones Day Out of Minneapolis

    Listen to our discussion with the leaders from Communities United Against Police Brutality as they talk about some new information they have uncovered at Minneapolis City Hall - A contract with a lawfirm called "Jones Day" that might not have the people's best interest in mind.  Jones Day is the fifth largest law firm in the US and they have virtually taken over the government of the City of Minneapolis, working in the city attorney's office to prosecute protesters and others, defend the city against lawsuits by people hurt by police, and process complaints against the police in the Office of Police Conduct Review. You can learn more by checking out the CUAPB flyer: https://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/cuapb/pages/1/attachments/original/1641789166/Jones_Day_Exposed_Flyer.pdf?1641789166  And if you'd like to sign their petition: https://www.change.org/p/jones-day-out-of-minneapolis?recruiter=1245793160&recruited_by_id=ad5b4770-71c1-11ec-9297-fb16ca827e72&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=petition_dashboard
