Join members of Portland Jobs with Justice, the Oregon Coalition of Black Trade Unionists (CBTU), and other union members, leaders, and organizers for a participatory panel discussion about whether or not police unions should exist, police brutality and Black Lives Matter, the possibilities for police reform that exist right now in a way they didn't even a month ago, and about what role union members, unions, and the Labor movement can and should play in this moment, in the movement for black lives, and in the coming changes to our system of policing.

Panel members include:
+Tina Turner-Morfitt, President of Oregon CBTU
+Deborah Hall, CBTU, retired AFT Local 3922 PCCFCE
+Candy Herrera, teacher's union organizer
+A.J. Mendoza, President of CWA Local 7901
+Hyung Nam, teachers union member, PMPCC organizer

Our hope is that this will be just the first in a series of vitally important conversations that we help host within the local Labor movement about systemic racism, police reform, and Labor's role in the movement.
