An Interfaith Gathering on Police Brutality

After the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, MO., after the killing of Ezell Ford here in South Los Angeles and several other people of color in the U.S., police brutality and racism have once again been given a national spotlight. How can people of faith and peace-loving people get involved to critically fight these injustices?

Join CopWatch Santa Ana, Spiritual Youth for Justice and Peace (SYJP) and others as we talk critically on how to effectively fight against police terror and racism, especially from a youth and student perspective. Speakers and presenters TBA.

Special performance by acclaimed social justice poet Matt Sedillo.

Check out "L.A. is Full of Pigs."

This event is free but donations are encouraged. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided.

Sponsored by: UUC Peace Center and Spiritual Youth for Justice and Peace (a project of Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace (ICUJP))

The event will take place at the United University Church at USC (In the Sanctuary) located at 817 W. 34th St, Los Angeles, CA 90089. For more information, please call (818) 605-7188.

"We understand that if it is total liberation we seek, we must abolish the police but also begin to build alternatives to this prison world, from the bottom up, while engaging and changing the increasingly hostile environment we find ourselves in by encouraging the momentum of resistance to the presence of police in our lives." http://libcom.org/news/statement-outside-santa-ana-city-council-chambers-englishespa%C3%B1ol-22102014

At what age should one be protected from the protectors? Police need to be reminded that all humans have dignity, and deserve respect. The city settled because they would have lost a lot more in court.
