Welcome
Community Care and Context for the Chauvin Trial
The purpose of this guide is to provide resources that will assist you in learning more about community care and healing. It also provides information on how to find materials that will assist you in contextualizing the Chauvin Trial as it progresses in Minneapolis. Please use the links below if you need to find support in these difficult times.
St. Olaf librarians have curated a collection of materials that you can access through Catalyst (see the first link below). We will update this guide and add more as we move forward.
