 Minneapolis Anti-Racist Action
Minneapolis ARA has adopted four main areas of activity: the confrontation of specific white supremacist individuals and organizations; protest, propaganda and agitation at specific sites of institutionalized racism; a "cop watch" and anti-cop organizing campaign; and, finally, a program of internal education.
