FARGO, N.D. (KVRR) As President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are sworn into office in Washington, marchers take to the streets in Fargo.
The “Solidarity March,” they say, is a call for people to come together and demand the changes they want to see this year and into the future.
“Our officials from the very top, the federal to local, have all completely failed to show up for us, to let us know that we’re not going to starve during a pandemic,” says Vanessa Clark with the Red River People Over Profits Initiative, the group behind the rally.

Police Chief David Zibolski said the two troublesome bars were The Empire Tavern in downtown Fargo on Broadway and the Africa International Restaurant and Night Club, 4554 7th Ave. E.
Officials earlier wouldn t release the names of the two operations that faced possible fines or license suspensions.
