Hamid Khan, organizer of the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition, will be joining us to talk about the work of the coalition, as well as broader conversations about police surveillance, activism for equal justice, and dismantling government systems of surveillance and harm. Learn more about the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition at their website.

The mission of the coalition is to build community-based power to dismantle police surveillance, spying, and infiltration programs.

“Civic Change, Power, and Voice: Lessons From the Community” was conceived as a chance for students to learn from activists, scholars, and community organizers on the front lines of enacting change with an emphasis on civic action. We’ll be hearing from a wide range of speakers with diverse backgrounds, allowing a fuller picture of the various faces of civic responsibilities and opportunities students may pursue in community activism. This event was supported by Strategic Initiative Funds from the Campus Life Committee.
