● Do you know someone who’s been arrested or locked up?

● Do you wonder why arrests rates are higher in “gentrifying” areas?

● Have you or someone you know been racially profiled in DC?

● Do you want to work for racial justice in our communities?

COMMUNITY SPEAKOUT will follow a short presentation about racial disparities in DC law enforcement. ALL ARE WELCOME! Please join us and share your experience and views. If you live or work in DC, especially in neighborhoods near Benning Road Library — CITIZEN, NON-CITIZEN, AND RETURNING (EX-OFFENDER) CITIZENS — all are encouraged to attend

Why: Recent reports by the ACLU of the Nation’s Capital and the Washington Lawyers Committee highlight staggering racial disparity in law enforcement in the District of Columbia.

END MASS INCARCERATION — END THE WAR ON DRUGS DEMAND A SAFE AND FREE DC FOR ALL.

This event is co-sponsored by the Family and Friends of Incarcerated People, the ACLU of the Nation’s Capital, Returning Citizens United, and the Washington Lawyer’s Committee.
