The Global Struggle Against Policing: From Seattle to Palestine- 2/27/19

The Global Struggle Against Policing: From Seattle to Palestine
(Wednesday, February 27, 2019) 3:30 PM – 5 PM @ University of Washington School of Law
4293 Memorial Way, Seattle, Washington 98195

Event Description:

• This will be a two-prong event. First, there will be an educational presentation about US-Israel police partnerships, including exchange trips that bring together police, ICE, border patrol, and FBI from the US with soldiers, police, and from Israel. In these programs, harmful practices are shared to promote and extend discriminatory surveillance and policing in both countries.
• Following the presentation, there will be a panel of community-organizers who will highlight their experiences resisting policing across different social movements and borders. In linking issues of militarism, imperialism, border enforcement, racism, colonialism, and surveillance, MLSA strives to build a conversation that interconnects communities in their struggle against policing.
• Hosted by The Minority Law Student Association (MLSA) as a part of UW Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Week at UW Law.

Room #: TBD
