Join us tonight! COVID-19 brought to the fore the immense crisis facing 150 million+ ppl already in or near poverty before the March economic collapse. Jan 1, 2021, nineteen million+ ppl risk homelessness w/ expiration of CDC-enforced moratoriums on mortgage & rent payments.

If Community Control of Police (CCOP) was instituted, the Mayor could not make a unilateral decision on the next DC Police Chief... you the community would. Support initiative for CCOP.

Victoria McCullough is asking the Council to prohibit officers from conducting invasive searches of people's inner clothing, undergarments, and body cavities. #morethanaplaza

[DC Justice Lab @DCJusticeLab]

Student Director Alexis Mayer explains only 1 in 5 children understand their Miranda rights. Police encounters are inherently coercive, especially for children. They want to go home and 90% of the time, they waive. They are 30% of false confessions. #amorematuremiranda

Here is the dataset Katrina referenced, showing 98% of youth commitments are Black. The other 2% are, of course, Latinx. Available here: https://t.co/j7LYc6CtNW

One of their demands is to disallow police from using the very terror they inflict on Black communities as a reason for stopping and searching them (e.g., presence in a high-crime neighborhood, appearing nervous). https://t.co/7qHBMfGZE3
