- **Event Name**: Can We Talk? A panel, dinner, and community discussion about the past, present, and future of I-94
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 16 Apr, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Thu, 16 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Moderated by Saint Paul Reparations Commissioner and 2024 Bush Fellow Trahern Crews, “Can We Talk? A panel, dinner, and community discussion about the past, present, and future of I-94” will convene community members, residents, advocates, and reparations activists for a focused and values-driven conversation about “the problem of I-94.” 

Immediately following the panel, participants will gather together in small groups to: share personal experiences around past and present harms of the highway and imagine a future for I-94 that centers those who were, are, and will be most impacted by the highway or its potential alternatives.

The findings and feedback gathered during the discussion will be shared with participants and with Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) officials for inclusion in their Rethinking I-94 engagement efforts. The feedback will also inform Our Streets’ continued advocacy work alongside community members. A free community dinner will be provided at the event. To help ensure we have plenty of food for all, RSVPs are encouraged, but all community members are welcome to attend.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
