DESCRIPTION:You are cordially invited – please bring friends!\n\nThe End of 
 Policing\nA conversation with Alex Vitale\n\nSaturday, Nov. 16, from 5 to 7 
 p.m.\nNiebyl-Proctor Marxist Library\n6501 Telegraph Ave., Oakland 
 94609\n\nSponsors - Northern California Communist Party, Harry Bridges 
 Club, CPUSA and People’s World/Mundo Popular\n\nAlex Vitale is Professor 
 of Sociology and Coordinator of the Policing and Social Justice Project at 
 Brooklyn College and a Visiting Professor at London Southbank University. 
 He has spent the last 25 years writing about policing and consults both 
 police departments and human rights organizations internationally. He also 
 serves on the New York State Advisory Committee of the US Commission on 
 Civil Rights and is the author of City of Disorder: How the Quality of Life 
 Campaign Transformed New York Politics.\n\nIn his recent work, The End of 
 Policing, Vitale gives a scathing critique of police reformism and presents 
 realistic alternatives to policing, such as restorative justice and harm 
 reduction programs implemented in various departments around the 
 world.\n\nThe book is a means to spark a public discourse: telling the 
 racist and anti-labor origins of modern policing as a tool of social 
 control, in which police authority is inconsistent with community 
 empowerment, social justice and public safety – so the event will be 
 organized as a conversation with local activists Cassie Lopez and Nicole 
 Evelyn Leopardo.\n\nLopez is an activist in Oakland and one of the 
 principal directors of the Niebyl Proctor Marxist Library. Leopardo is a 
 lecturer of Race and Resistance Studies at SFSU; where she teaches critical 
 thinking, focusing on the basic skills involved in understanding, 
 deconstructing, and creating sound arguments using materials and 
 theoretical concepts that center people of color. \n\nCopies of The End Of 
 Policing will be available for sale or signing for $15.\n\nCommunist Party
