Indigenous activist Mike Forcia is advocating for the re-use of two Minneapolis properties to address the opioid epidemic. He envisions a memorial garden and a treatment hub on a one-and-a-half-acre site along East Franklin Avenue. The proposal includes a community space for selling Indigenous crafts and a navigation center. Forcia also seeks to reclaim East Phillips Park for a treatment center and shelter, part of his "Red Road Village Plan." The initiative aims to support those struggling with opioids and homelessness, fostering community healing and cultural resilience.
