DESCRIPTION:Every semester, DeCal: Copwatch, hosted by UC Berkeley DeCal Program and 
 Berkeley Copwatch, invites activists, organizers, academics, lawyers, 
 resisters, rebels, concerned civilians, and family members from communities 
 of struggle across the Bay Area to join us on Monday evenings for 
 facilitated conversations on policing and safety—past conversations have 
 included friends from the Oscar Grant Committee, Stop the Gang Injunctions, 
 Coalition for a Safer San Francisco, Boalt Law School, and many others. 
 This Spring, join us as we address issues that include the OPD and 
 Federalization, Community Control Initiatives, Sit/Lie and Stop and Frisk, 
 militarization and racism, and the ongoing battles for justice by families 
 impacted by police violence, including the Justice for Alan Blueford 
 campaign.\n\n\nOur facilitators this Spring are Jay Scherf and Andrea 
 Prichett. Here is this Spring’s Course Description:\n\n\nThrough a 
 combination of class presentations by leading activists in the alternative 
 justice movement and direct field monitoring of police on duty, students 
 will experience first hand the complex issues faced by residents caught 
 between high crime in their neighborhoods and the dangers that racial 
 profiling, civil and human rights abuses bring to the community. Students 
 will be trained in basic criminal procedure, power analysis, and techniques 
 for observing police activity. In addition, students will examine the 
 history and origins of police, resistance movements, and community based 
 alternatives to the justice system as we know it.\n\n\nWrite to us at 
 BerkeleyCopwatch@yahoo.com for a syllabus, and join us at the Grassroots 
 House on Mondays at 5:30pm for thoughtful conversations that engage 
 struggles going on now. Learn how to safely monitor police, submit a Public 
 Records Act Request, and get signed up for a shift—doing case work, 
 direct monitoring street patrols, tabling with other copwatchers at local 
 events. See you there!\n\n
