“MPD150: A People’s Evaluation of the Minneapolis Police Department”

An interactive talk and workshop.

MPD150 is a participatory, horizontally-organized effort by local organizers, researchers, artists and activists. The goal of this initiative is to shift the discussion of police violence in Minneapolis from one of procedural reforms to one of meaningful structural change. We will achieve this by presenting a practical pathway for the dismantling of the Minneapolis Police Department; the transference of its social service functions to community-based agencies and organizations; the replacement of its emergency intervention functions with models not based on military methods; and the redirection of resources to support community resilience and people-directed development.

This is the second event in a series called "Confinement, Borders, Resistence" co-organized with Latin American Studies and Asian Studies.
