The Bowser-Contee DC Police State & The Federal Greenlight of Repression

Our communities are fed a steady diet of propaganda showcasing the police as the only solution to crime and violence in our communities. While DC Mayor Bowser and MPD Chief Robert Contee criminalize the Black working class victims of poverty created by capitalism, Black, Brown and indigenous working class people are turned into expendable populations. So, what must be done?

In response to the call for a “National Day of Action Against Police Terror” we invite all DC area activists and organizers, and the community at-large to this teach-in that will address the implications of: increasing domestic and international policing, Cop City in Atlanta GA, the MPD national recruitment campaign, and Howard University’s contract with the DOD making it a Military Research Center.

Come join your community to get updates on local activities and campaigns and to engage in a movement wide discussion abut Community Control Over Police as a viable response to police violence.

Free food and drink will be served. There will be a cultural performance by local hip hop artist Dahk Matter.

NOTE: This is an in-person event ONLY, with no option to participate online.

Co-conveners: PACA (Pan-African Community Action), Black Lives Matter-DC, Malcolm X Grassroots Movement-DC Chapter, DC Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression, ONE DC, and Spirit of Sankofa-School of Revolutionary Thought
