Thursday, July 9, 12noon-1pm, this on-line event requires advance registration

dkéama alexis will give an outline of how the police grew into an institution in the united states, situating its legacy within our country’s violent history of chattel slavery, genocide, and capitalistic greed. they will then define what police and prison abolition is, why it’s necessary for creating a free world for the most oppressed, and how we can continue working towards it here in central ohio with BQIC’s #12ToAbolish12 demands.

dkéama alexis is a Black queer and trans abolitionist and community organizer based in c*lumbus, ohio. in 2017, she co-founded Black Queer and Intersectional Collective (BQIC, pronounced “be quick”), a grassroots community organization working towards the liberation of Black LGBTQIA+ people through community organizing, direct action, and creating spaces where our voices can be heard. he enjoys spending time with loved ones, learning about both the tangible and the immaterial, listening to podcasts, and dreaming of a world without police, prisons, or borders.
