Know Your Rights! Police Encounter Training

Date : June 1, 2020 9:00 am To June 1, 2020 5:00 pm

A training session focused on understanding our rights when stopped by the police which would enable members to serve as a resource for their community members, friends, loved ones, colleagues, and anyone they may pass by on the street who may need help. This session also provided helpful information on how to be an active ally to those who are protesting or supporting the movement in other ways. The trainer, Djibril Toure, has organized for greater police accountability as a member of the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement and other coalitions for about 20 years. Having worked on issues of selective enforcement/discriminator y policing, he was part of 2 lawsuits against NYPD and its Stop and Frisk program, Daniels vs. NYPD (2001) and Floyd Vs. NYPD (2012). He worked in a coalition with Coalition Against Police Brutality (CAPB) and Communities United for Police Reform (changethenypd.org) on long term recommendations and solutions for public safety.
