MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – A coalition of tribal governments, Native American activists and supporters of the native community plan to rally Thursday afternoon to urge the Washington Redskins to drop their team name and mascot.
A coalition of Minnesota Native American tribes and organizations will host a “Not Your Mascot” march that will turn into a rally at The Commons near U.S. Bank Stadium. Participants will gather at Peavey Plaza at 2 p.m. and the march is slated to start at 4 p.m.
This wouldn’t be the first time there’s been a protest in Minnesota over the Redskins team name.
