- What's it like to go to college in a pandemic?
- Date posted
- 4 years ago
- Description
- College students have returned to campus for the first time since the pandemic shattered their spring semester — but campus is a different world from what they left behind back in March.
Schools have limited access to dorms, enacted curfews, provided access to testing and moved courses online, though these efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19 can only go so far when not all students are taking the precautions seriously.
So, we asked students across Minnesota to tell us what they think of all this, and to explain how the pandemic has affected their return to school. With all the chaos and uncertainty, the students we spoke to are wondering: Will they receive the same quality of education? Will they get sick? Will their grades suffer? Watch this latest episode of Tomorrow Together to hear their stories.

- The Nov. 3 general election is weeks away. But in Minnesota, voting will begin on Sept. 18.
There are plenty of options to avoid voting in-person during the coronavirus pandemic, as Minnesota has expanded access to mail-in voting to keep polling places less crowded on election day. But for new and first time voters, these less traditional forms of voting — such as early voting and voting by mail — can be a little tricky. So, in this episode of Tomorrow Together, our politics reporter Zoë Jackson clears up some of the concerns that you may have heading into election day.

- How unelected officials blocked a vote to defund the Minneapolis Police | Tomorrow Together
- Date posted
- 4 years ago
- Description
- After the killing of George Floyd, Minneapolis City Council members proposed a radical change to policing in the city. This November, Minneapolis residents would have voted on whether to replace the police department by amending the city’s charter — until the plan was blocked by the unelected officials of the Minneapolis Charter Commission. So we asked: Who is the Minneapolis Charter Commission? And how much power do they have when it comes to influencing the future of policing in our city?
Correction:
At 2:25 we got our math wrong. We should have said 'about five officers for every 3,000 residents,' or 'one officer for every 588 residents.'

- Reform, Defund, or Abolish – What’s the future of police in Minneapolis?
- Date posted
- 4 years ago
- Description
- Minneapolis is at a crossroads when it comes to the future of policing after George Floyd was killed by the police. The tragedy has brought demands for a reimagining of public safety in our city, and the burning of the third precinct sent a stark message: Despite years of incremental reforms, radical change must happen now.
But conversations about change can get complicated. Words like reform, defund and abolish frequently surface in conversations about the future of policing in Minneapolis — but what do each of these terms mean? Activists, residents and researchers shed some light on it, and talk about what a future with or without police might look like.
Correction:
At 6:50 we got our math wrong. We should have said 'about five officers for every 3,000 residents,' or 'one officer for every 588 residents.'

- How Black and brown artists are making their voices heard after George Floyd’s killing
- Date posted
- 4 years ago
- Description
- George Floyd’s killing in Minneapolis started a wave of protests across Minnesota and the world. It also created an explosion of public art. One colorful mural of George Floyd in south Minneapolis quickly became a fixture on social media, but the controversy that rose around it is lesser-known.
Created without input from Black artists or the community, some said it didn’t represent the people most affected by Floyd’s killing. The situation launched a discussion about representation in the art responding to Floyd’s killing — one centered around who’s creating the art at the heart of this movement, and why that matters.
