SATURDAY MARCH 15, 2025 | 12 - 2 PM Black Workers & Wellness Center 2500 MLK Ave. SE

FREE food Childcare, and ASL Interpretation provided! Masks strongly encouraged.

This is an HYBRID event.

Join us as we explore shifting state narratives surrounding public safety and dismantling copaganda as we build community power. We will examine how these narratives influence public perception, win community support for legislation like Secure DC, and increase reliance on policing.

In this workshop, we will delve into whether the police complaints process can address the immediate conditions caused by the perpetual war on Black people while we work towards long-term goals like ending police occupation in our communities. We will analyze how policing, copaganda, and the control of dominant safety narratives serve as tools for social control and the enforcement of oppressive systems.

Building community power in this process means raising the consciousness of our people about the nature of our oppression, developing the means to resist it, and necessary practice to wield it.

See you Saturday!
