In this episode of Fritanga, Minneapolis community leaders - Henry Jiménez, Carolina Ortiz, and Rev. Hierald Osorto - share what they witnessed on the ground and how their communities responded in real time. From disruption and fear to solidarity and collective action, we discuss both the human cost and the strength that emerged in response.
