Street Law 101: Know Your Rights When Interacting With Police

In DC’s Black and brown neighborhoods there is the law on the books and then there is street law. Street law is the way policing actually happens in the streets, in real time.

When police approach you on the street, question you, detain you, or pat you down, what so-called constitutional rights are you supposed to have? What should you do? If police lie and you are arrested, what do you need to know? How do we as a community document, report and share what is happening and which cops are responsible? In addition to addressing those questions, this training highlights the contradictions between policies and tactics used by law enforcement.

Join us (3/28/23) at 7:00 PM ET for a virtual training in collaboration with Cedar United, Malcolm X Grassroots Movement DC Chapter, Pan African Community Action, and Stop Police Terror Project. Register at https://bIt.ly/streetlaw_march.
