DESCRIPTION:Community Policing Uncovered: How Surveillance, Displacement and 
 Counterinsurgency Happens in Our Cities\n\nHost: Othering and Belonging 
 Institute, UC Berkeley\n\nWhen: May 16, 2022, 2pm PT / 5pm ET\n\nWhere: 
 Online via livestream\n\nRSVP for reminder:

 https://belonging.berkeley.edu/community-policing-uncovered-how-surveillance-displacement-and-counterinsurgency-happens-our-cities\n\n\nOur 
 communities know how brutal our police systems are and have been rising up 
 to demand new visions of community safety and care. Less understood is the 
 history and harms of reforms like community policing - a 
 counter-revolutionary attempt to legitimize policing. \n\nMilitarized 
 counterinsurgency and surveillance tactics are impacting neighborhoods 
 daily. From housing displacement and gentrification to corporate power and 
 incarceration, these systems are long-term strategies to increase police 
 funding rather than invest in communities. \n\nWatch a new video telling 
 this story and hear from community leaders in Los Angeles about efforts to 
 reclaim resources. How do we shift power to get what we need and deserve, 
 to heal and thrive?\n\n\nSPEAKERS:\n\nDylan Rodriguez\n\nDylan Rodríguez 
 is a teacher, scholar, and collaborator who is committed to building and 
 supporting abolitionist, liberationist, anti-colonial and other forms of 
 radical community and movement. Since 2001, he has maintained a day job as 
 a Professor at the University of California, Riverside. He was elected to 
 serve as President of the American Studies Association in 2020-2021, and in 
 2020 was named to the inaugural class of Freedom Scholara. Since the 
 late-1990s, he has participated as a founding member of organizations like 
 Critical Resistance, the Abolition Collective, Critical Ethnic Studies 
 Association, Cops Off Campus, Scholars for Social Justice, and Blackness 
 Unbound, among others. Dylan is the author of three books, most recently 
 White Reconstruction: Domestic Warfare and the Logic of Racial Genocide 
 (Fordham University Press, 2021), which won the 2022 Frantz Fanon Book 
 Award from the Caribbean Philosophical Association. He was a co-editor of 
 the field shaping text Critical Ethnic Studies: A Reader (Duke University 
 Press, 2016). Most importantly, Dylan appreciates participating in all 
 forms of collective study, thought, and planning that build capacities to 
 survive and revolt against oppressive conditions.\n\n\nPete White, Los 
 Angeles Community Action Network\n\nPete White is the founder and 
 co-executive director of the Los Angeles Community Action Network (LA CAN), 
 a grassroots organization working to ensure the human right to housing, 
 health and security are upheld in Los Angeles. Pete White has been a 
 community organizer in Los Angeles communities since 1992 and has educated 
 and organized thousands of low-income people on a multitude of issues and 
 campaigns. A lifetime resident of South Central Los Angeles, he is 
 committed to fighting for a Los Angeles that does not tolerate racial 
 injustice, promotes an equitable distribution of resources, and includes 
 everyone. White believes that organizing and leadership development are 
 essential tools needed to achieve social change and racial justice. He 
 serves on a variety of Boards and Advisory Committees related to 
 homelessness, organizing, and grassroots funding.\n\n\nGloria Gonzalez, 
 Youth Justice Coalition\n\nGloria is the Youth Development Coordinator at 
 Youth Justice Coalition. As a Latina from South Central Los Angeles, life 
 has provided her with the people, spaces, and resources to survive the 
 struggle within my community. As a young mother, her passion revolves 
 around youth development and building alternative opportunities for youth 
 to end the cycle of the school to jail-track incarceration. She is 
 motivated to work within the communities that have influenced and inspired 
 her because of the abundance of incarcerated family and friends, and few 
 resources in her community.\n\nYouth Justice Coalition (YJC) is working to 
 build a youth, family, and formerly and currently incarcerated people’s 
 movement to challenge America’s addiction to incarceration and race, 
 gender and class discrimination in Los Angeles County’s, California’s 
 and the nation’s juvenile and criminal injustice systems.\n\n \nHamid 
 Khan, Stop LAPD Spying\n\nHamid Khan is the co-leader of the Stop LAPD 
 Spying Coalition, a broad coalition whose primary goal is to raise public 
 awareness, participation, mobilization, and action on police spying and 
 surveillance and to sustain long-term intersectional movement building. 
 Hamid immigrated to the United States from Pakistan in 1979. Hamid is also 
 the founder and former Executive Director of South Asian Network (1990 – 
 2010) and a founding member of the Los Angeles Taxi Workers Alliance.\n\n
