DESCRIPTION:Ground Breaking Police Policy Faces First Test\nJUSTICE4PEDIE IS 
 JUSTICE4ALL\n\n   In January 2016, the Richmond City Council responded to a 
 grassroots social justice movement by establishing a new police 
 accountability policy desiigned to protect Richmond residents from unjust 
 police violence by holding police accountable for such actions. The new 
 procedure requires a special investigaion, independent of the Police and 
 District Attorney, of any police killing or serious injury caused by 
 police. If successful, this new policy could inspire other cities across 
 America to follow its example as a measure to stop the epdemic of unjust 
 police violence that plagues our nation.\n   The first test of this 
 landmark policy will be the case of Pedie Perez, a young man shot and 
 killed by Richmond Police Officer Jensen on September 14, 2014, leading to 
 widespread community concern over a possible cover-up.\n   The social 
 justice movement, the people of Richmond, and the whole nation are 
 watching. Attend this public forum which will outline the facts of this 
 case, the progress of the investigation, and the implications for the 
 broader struggle for justice here in Richmond and across the 
 nation.\n\nJustice4Pedie Community Meeting\n\nFEATURED SPEAKERS
