#Justice4Zo: Building The Movement for Community Control

January 28 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Join Pan-African Community Action (PACA) for an interactive Assata Shakur Study Group session.

January 2 marks the birthday of Alonzo (Zo) Fiero Smith, whose killing by DC Special Police exposed the deep failures of systems that deny communities control over their own safety. The #Justice4Zo campaign launched in 2016 became a catalyst for the formation of PACA, Pan-African Community Action, and helped advance a local struggle for community control over policing in DC. Join PACA next Wednesday to examine the political origins of the Justice for Zo campaign and its role in building organized power beyond reform-based responses. This session will focus on how PACA continues to develop a movement for community control through political education, organizing, and collective action.

Due to expected harsh weather conditions, this ASSG will be on Zoom only. Register for it here https://tinyurl.com/AfricansStudy
