Imagine Alternatives to Policing - Chicago Day of Action

  • 2787

Join us July 5th, 2020, for a Family Friendly Art + Action Day around imagining alternatives to policing here in Chicago.

Participate in an artful rally at a TBD location in Bronzeville, which we will plaster with graphic art to generate discussions around what safety and security beyond policing could look like in our communities. This event will feature conversations with community organizers and leaders, and opportunities for folks to share their experiences and input - all in the spirit of catalyzing efforts to re-imagine how we invest in the safety and security of our communities.

Please RSVP if you plan to attend! We don’t want to discourage anyone who didn’t RSVP from showing up and helping out but we also want to prepare as best as we can :)
