Downtown Reno
At a candidate forum hosted by the Rotary Club of Reno on September 15, 2014, Schieve remarked that the "biggest problem" that she would tackle as mayor concerns downtown Reno.^[8]

Excerpt: "Being proud of our downtown, first and foremost. I want someplace that my friends and family are proud to be in. I will roll up my sleeves and work incredibly hard to improve our downtown. I was one of the original founders of the Midtown district, so I know how to get something like that done."

Events in Reno, Nevada, began on Saturday, May 30, 2020.^[9] The same day, Mayor Hillary Schieve (U) instituted a curfew.^[9] Later that evening, Gov.

On May 25, 2020, Minneapolis police officers arrested Floyd, a Black man, after receiving a call that he had made a purchase with a counterfeit $20 bill.^[11] Floyd died after Derek Chauvin, a white officer, arrived at the scene and pressed his knee onto Floyd's neck as Floyd laid face-down on the street in handcuffs.^[12] Both the Hennepin County Medical Examiner and an independent autopsy conducted by Floyd's family ruled Floyd's death as a homicide stemming from the incident.^[13] The medical examiner's report, prepared by Dr. Michael Baden and Dr. Allecia Wilson, said that it was "not a legal determination of culpability or intent, and should not be used to usurp the judicial process."^[13] On April 20, 2021, Chauvin was found guilty of murder and manslaughter in relation to Floyd's death.^[14]

Floyd's death was filmed and shared widely, leading to activity regarding racism, civil rights, and police use of force. The first events took place in Minneapolis-St. Paul on May 26.^[15] An event in Chicago organized by Chance the Rapper and Rev. Michael Pfleger took place the same day, making it the first major city outside of Minneapolis to host an event in response to Floyd's death.^[16]
