Massachusetts is not immune to police violence and misconduct—and we must demand change. Right now, legislators in Massachusetts have the unprecedented opportunity to end qualified immunity, impose real restrictions on use of force, and ban police use of face surveillance technology. During the week of September 21, we will use a range of activism tools to bring attention to incidents of police violence across our state.
Police violence happens here: help us demand an end to it in Massachusetts.
Monday, September 21 @ 6:00pm - 6:30pm

Mapping Police Violence in Action
We're looking for small groups of volunteers to hold "Police Violence Happens Here" signs in communities across the state where police violence has occurred. Social distancing will be practiced at this event & masks will be required. "Police Violence Happens Here" signs will be sent to you by mail or will be available for pickup at a location TBD.
