The groups gathered 20,000 signatures in order to get the measure on the ballot, twice the number necessary. They also raised around $1 million which includes $500,000 from Open Society Policy Center, which has ties to billionaire George Soros. “What we knew as public safety—which is only the police right now, the only option that we have—was unacceptable. The murder of George Floyd ignited a lot of historical pain and disrespect that we have been going through, and we made the decision that we no longer wanted to have what we have now as the only option for public safety,” said Brian Fullman, lead organizer with one of the groups, Barbershop and Black Congregation Cooperative....

Walz intends to bypass the state’s legislative body to enact the ban since the Republican-held state senate has pushed back against it multiple times.
