The Call Out:
fwd: The police serve and protect systems of privilege and injustice.
The most oppressed members of society are also the ones in courts, jails, and prisons.
Those who fight exploitation are targeted by police. We need to organize our communities to challenge police violence and racial and class profiling.

Kabir Joshi-Vijayan, organizer, International People’s Democratic Uhuru Movement “Organizing the Hood”
Chris Williams, researcher and writer on policing & doctoral candidate “Organizing against racialized police violence”
