Peoples' Justice for Community Control and Police Accountability (PJ), Dtreetwise and Safe (SAS) and Communities united for Police Reform (CPR) are teaming up with the Audre Lorde Project for this month's Political Education offering a Know Your Rights Training for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Two Spirit, Trans and Gender Non-Conforming (LGBTSTGNC) People of Color.

This interactive, multi-media training will cover: the root causes of police violence; basic information about your legal and constitutional rights when dealing with the police (with a particular focus on the experiences of LGBTSTGNC POC folks), practical advise about how to assert those rights in the safest way possible, and a discussion of how we can organize to take power back from the NYPD for our communities.

Who should attend?  

- Folks who are tired of watching police violence in their neighborhoods.

- Folks who wanna talk with their communities about the issues they face.

- Folks who wanna get involved with the Audre Lorde Project, Peoples’ Justice or CPR.

- Groups of 3-5 who want to start Cop Watch teams.

* Open to all LGBTSTGNC POC

* Snacks and metro cards will be provided

* Limited space available. You must RSVP to attend this workshop. Please email ibajar@alp.org.
