On Thursday evening, Gov. Tim Walz issued a proclamation declaring a Day of Unity to honor the life and memory of Renee Good on Friday, Jan. 9, 2026. Good was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday morning.

You can participate in the Day of Unity by performing acts of service in honor and remembrance of Renee Good and observing a moment of silence at 10 a.m. Today, let’s create a playlist that brings us together.
