Details about the event

Join us at this timely webinar with scholar-activist Dr. Melina Abdullah, a leader of Black Lives Matter and professor of Pan-African Studies!

A consistent call coming out of current protests nationwide is to Defund the Police and Abolish the Police. What do these demands mean in practice? How can we transform our communities and end a policing institution born out of the system of chattel slavery and fueled by white supremacy?

The police brutality and violence we have witnessed in recent weeks is also linked to the ongoing militarization of local police forces. The resources that police departments drain away from community needs like health care, education, and housing has to end!

Some cities are already in motion - Minneapolis is dismantling its police department, a number of cities are moving money from bloated police budgets to Black and Brown communities. New legislation in Congress aims to end and punish police misconduct.

Tickets are sliding scale $5 - $25.

All who register will receive a link to watch live or later at their own convenience.
