Join us for an important conversation examining the ongoing fight for community control and police accountability. Beginning with the police killing of Marilyn Banks, this panel will trace the organizing strategies led by the Coalition Against Police Crimes & Repression (CACPR) to advance local control and establish an independent civilian oversight board.
We are outraged over the treatment of youth last weekend by the Mayor of St. Louis and SLMPD. After incidents were reported in North City, South City, and Downtown on 314 Day Weekend, the Mayor put a 10pm curfew in place for Downtown the following weekend. As a result, 23 youth from ages 11 to 17 were threatened, harassed, zip-tied, thrown into SLMPD vehicles, and taken to a non-disclosed location.
