DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion on the nature of the police project and its 
 rootedness in racial capitalism and settler colonialism.\n\nBOOK: "Violent 
 Order: Essays on the Nature of Police"\n\nDate and time: Mon, September 6, 
 2021 @ 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM PDT\n\nRSVP: 
 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/violent-order-racial-capitalism-colonialism-and-the-nature-of-the-police-tickets-168747015867\n\n\nJoin 
 David Correia, Melanie K Yazzi, Tyler Wall and Julie Sze in a discussion 
 that will explore that idea that police and police violence are modes of 
 environment-making. \n\nThe police project, in order to fabricate and 
 defend capitalist order, must patrol an imaginary line between society and 
 nature, it must transform nature into inert matter made available for 
 accumulation. \n\nPolice don't just patrol the ghetto or the Indian 
 reservation, the thin blue line doesn 't just refer to a social order, 
 rather police announce a general claim to domination—of labor and of 
 nature.\n\n***Register through Eventbrite to receive a link to the video 
 conference on the day of the event. This event will also be recorded and 
 have live 
 captioning.***\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nSpeakers:\n\nDavid
