We need people who are skilled up to talk to the media about police violence. You could help your community widen their scope of vision for forms of community safety that do not rely on police, prisons, or other forms of state violence. You are encouraged to invite a friend to attend with you. All you need to do is share this link with them and I'll include them in future updates.
This training will last 1.5 hours and be delivered as a webinar on Zoom with a 30-minute Q&A at the end. The cost is $25 p/ person. No one will be turned away for an inability to pay. Sponsorships + voluntary reparations are encouraged. Please email me for details.
Complete the form below to indicate your interest + availability.
Registration + payment will happen once the date/time details are finalized.
