DESCRIPTION:End Qualified Immunity for Police Now! A Supreme Court Briefing 
 (webinar)\n\nLivestream:

 country has a serious, deadly, and racist police brutality problem, but 
 even in the most extreme cases officers are rarely held accountable -- in 
 part because of Qualified Immunity, a doctrine created by the Supreme Court 
 decades ago. In practice, Qualified Immunity makes it nearly impossible for 
 victims of police violence to hold officers accountable for even the most 
 egregious misconduct. It also makes systemic change less likely by 
 insulating cities and states from paying for their failures to prevent 
 violence.\n\nQualified Immunity has to end, and it has to end now!\n\nThis 
 Monday (June 15) at 5 PM PT (8 PM ET), join Rep. Ayanna Pressley and 
 leading advocates and experts from the Leadership Conference on Civil and 
 Human Rights, \nNAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Emory Law, 
 Columbia University, \nConstitutional Accountability Center, Center for 
 Popular Democracy, and Demand Justice \nfor a conversation about Qualified 
 Immunity -- and what we can do as we work to end this Supreme Court-created 
 doctrine.\n\nThis conversation is the fifth in a series of digital 
 roundtables about the threat posed by the Supreme Court to our democracy 
 and our rights. This series brings together policy experts, elected 
 officials, and activists on the front lines to explain what's at stake and 
 what we can do \nto fight back, even from our couches.\n\nOrganizations &
