The 2025 Speak Out will feature invited testimony from 18 families who have personally suffered the loss of a loved one to deadly police brutality. These directly-impacted witnesses are from throughout the country, from California to Florida, from Ohio to Texas, and from the Washington DC area. There will be two sessions of testimony, from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., with lunch provided between at no cost.
The event will be livestreamed and recorded. After the scheduled testimony, the Speak Out will provide an opportunity (2 – 4 p.m.) for any directly-impacted individual/family in attendance to videotape a statement. Mothers Against Police Brutality will provide a link to their video for all who make a statement, and the videos will be featured on MAPB’s website, on social media, and in other formats.
