Founded in the Twin Cities in Minnesota in 2020, amidst the uprising that occurred after the murder of George Floyd, REP is a “node in an interconnected network of projects created by communities to manifest safety and center Black life, liberation, and joy.”
One Million Experiments turns to the Twin Cities to connect with Signe Harriday of Relationships Evolving Possibilities, or REP. REP is a network of dedicated abolitionists showing up to support others in moments of crisis or urgency, with care and respect for the full dignity and autonomy of the people in crisis. They help community build pods of communal reliance, and facilitate a hotline to address the needs of community members in times of crisis.
