Ritchie detail why policing doesn’t stop violence\, instead perpetuating widespread harm; outline the many failures of contemporary police reforms; and explore demands to defund police\, divest from policing\, and invest in community resources to create greater safety through a Black feminist lens. \nCentering survivors of state\, interpersonal\, and community-based violence\, and highlighting uprisings\, campaigns\, and community-based projects\, No More Police makes a compelling case for a world where the tools required to prevent\, interrupt\, and transform violence in all its forms are abundant. Part handbook\, part road map\, No More Police calls on us to turn away from systems that perpetrate violence in the name of ending it toward a world where violence is the exception\, and safe\, well-resourced and thriving communities are the rule. \nAbout the Author \nAndrea J. Ritchie is a nationally recognized expert on policing and criminalization\, and supports organizers across the country working to build safer communities. She is co-founder of Interrupting Criminalization\, the author of Invisible No More: Police Violence Against Black Women and Women of Color\, and the co-author (with Mariame Kaba) of No More Police (The New Press). She lives in Detroit. \nNikkita Oliver (they/them) is an artist\, community organizer\, abolitionist\, educator\, and attorney. Working at the intersections of arts\, law\, education\, and community organizing Nikkita strives to create experiences which draw us closer to our humanity and invites us to imagine what we hope to see in the future. (Nikkita identifies as Black\, multi-racial\, queer\, and non-binary.) \nAmanda Alexander\, founding Executive Director of the Detroit Justice Center\, is a racial justice lawyer and historian who works alongside community-based movements to end mass incarceration and build thriving and inclusive cities. Originally from Michigan\, Amanda has worked at the intersection of racial justice and community development in Detroit\, New York\, and South Africa for more than 15 years. \n“This book pushes those of us who have been fighting police and sexual violence for decades to think past prosecutions and prisons toward a future where we stop violence before it starts and transform harm when it happens.”—dream hampton\, filmmaker and writer\, Surviving R. Kelley and Decoded \n“In the powerful and generative tradition of Black feminist freedom-making\, No More Police not only presents a compelling case for the abolition of police\, but points us in the direction of building a safer and more just future. Ritchie and Kaba have worked for decades in transformative justice and abolitionist movements. The richness of that experience\, the love that fuels it\, and the brilliant insights that flow from it\, shine brightly in this book.”—Barbara Ransby\, activist\, author\, and historian\, Making All Black Lives Matter \nMake sure to save a spot with a ticket because tickets are limited. \nVaccination Requirements: You may be asked to show proof that you are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or a COVID Free Test Result for entrance to this event.

SUMMARY:Build Power Fight Power: A 5-Part Course on Movement Lawyering
DESCRIPTION:  \nABOUT THE COURSE\nThis course is an introduction on how to use law to build the power of social justice movements. It will offer you guidance no matter which movement or organized community you are trying to support. From movements of low-wage workers\, youth of color\, climate justice activists\, indigenous communities\, the immigrants’ rights movement\, survivors of abuse\, people coming out of prison\, or people fighting to end systemic racism—if you want to use your legal skills to build a world that is better for people and the planet\, then this course is for you. \nWHO IS ORGANIZING THIS COURSE? This course is being organized by Movement Law Lab and taught by a collective of experienced movement lawyers across the country. We work at a range of institutions\, we represent different progressive movements\, we have a diverse expertise and skill-sets\, but we are united in our belief that law is best used as a tool to shift power\, culture and systems. \nWHAT WILL THE COURSE COVER? The course will consist of presentations on: key theories of social change and concepts of movement lawyering\, storytelling from experienced movement lawyers\, as well as tools and resources to help integrate movement lawyering approaches into your current work. In addition\, we hope to build a meaningful learning/practice community that will extend beyond the sessions and continue to build a national community of lawyers dedicated to supporting mass movements and grassroots organizing. \nWHAT IS THE COURSE FORMAT? This course consists of five interactive online sessions running from July 8 – September 11\, 2020. Sessions 1\, 2 and 5 will be in plenary format—all of us will be in one session. Sessions 3 and 4 will be reoccurring and participants will have the ability to choose amongst a variety of dates. All sessions will be between 1.5 to 2 hours and will be recorded. There will be a course website with a discussion board and access to session recordings. The sessions build on each other and were designed to be taken sequentially. Participants are strongly encouraged to register only if they can commit to attend all five sessions. \nWHO IS THIS COURSE FOR? Any lawyers\, legal workers\, or law students interested in learning how to use law to create social change and support movements. All levels of experience are welcome. We strongly encourage legal advocates coming from marginalized and/or non-traditional backgrounds to register—this space is for you: i.e. BIPOC (Black\, Indigenous or other people of color)\, women\, queer/transgender people\, people from low-income backgrounds\, and/or people who are formerly incarcerated. \nWHAT DOES THE COURSE COST?

SUMMARY:Cancelled: TO CREATE THE WORLD ANEW
DESCRIPTION:The Michigan Journal of Race & Law welcomes you to our 25th year anniversary symposium\, “To Create the World Anew: Movement Lawyering at the Heart of Race & Law.”\nREGISTER HERE\nFrom MI Journal of Race and Law: Our symposium seeks to recognize the Journal’s contribution to civil rights scholarship for the last 25 years\, while also questioning the greater role of lawyers and the law in social movements. We are examining case studies from Michigan that have required lawyers and non-lawyers to work in unison to bring greater change. Beginning with the fight for the right to water across Michigan\, to the response to the family separation crisis\, and the legislative and advocacy efforts to end the school to prison pipeline—we believe there are important lessons to be learned right here in our own community. We look forward to you joining us! \nSaturday\, March 28th\, 2020\nUNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN LAW SCHOOL\, JEFFRIES HALL 701 S STATE ST\, ANN ARBOR\, MI 48109\n***FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.***\n***SCROLL DOWN FOR AGENDA AND REGISTRATION FORM.***\n“Our challenge\, as we enter the third millennium\, is to deepen the commonalities and the bonds between these tens of millions\, while at the same time continuing to address the issues within our local communities by two-sided struggles that not only say ‘No’ to the existing power structure but also empower our constituencies to embrace the power within each of us to create the world anew.” \n– Grace Lee Boggs\, “These Are the Times to Grow Our Souls”

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Field Hearing on 5G and Big Data: Privacy\, Artificial Intelligence and the New Civil Rights Fights
DESCRIPTION:Interested in what’s happening with the fights around big tech\, facial recognition and data privacy? Join Senior Staff Attorney Eric Williams and others for what is sure to be an informative event! \nFrom Wayne Events: FCC Commissioner Geoffrey Starks and FTC Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter will jointly host a field hearing in Detroit\, Michigan. The hearing will feature U.S. Representative Brenda Lawrence (MI-14) and convene community leaders based in Detroit\, renowned scholars\, and policy advocates from across the United States to discuss the intersecting roles of the FCC and FTC in promoting equity for 5G technology and big data. The promises of an unprecedented level of connectivity with the deployment of 5G and sophisticated algorithms that utilize massive amounts of data are likely to transform the way we live\, work\, and play. The highest levels of connectivity cannot and should not be reserved for the few; the benefits of 5G technology must meet the needs of all Americans\, including low-income people\, people of color\, people living with disabilities\, people residing in rural communities\, children\, and the many ways in which those identities intersect. However\, connecting all communities is only half the battle: When these Americans are connected\, we must simultaneously work to minimize the privacy harms and other data abuses that may disproportionately fall on marginalized communities and particularly vulnerable populations\, such as children. During this hearing\, participants will discuss how to create and sustain a more equitable and connected world both online and offline.
