A Global Perspective On Policing, Community Safety and Security

May 7, 2025 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
An Assata Shakur Study Groups session of Pan-African Community Action (PACA)

Since the rise of the movement to challenge the dire consequences of over-policing in the U.S., the nature of U.S. police are assumed by many to be the universal characteristics of police internationally. Which has obscured the root causes of the conditions we seek to change and the path forward.

Join Pan-African Community Action (PACA) for this interactive, multimedia Assata Shakur Study Group session to broaden our thinking about policing and community safety by unpacking generalized preconceived notions and misconceptions by comparing the U.S. settler colonialist model with those forged through struggles for decolonization and self-determination.

Light snacks and refreshments will be provided!
