DESCRIPTION:Free Documentary Film Screening of "Reimagining Safety." Filmmaker Matthew 
 Solomon challenges the narrative that more policing and incarceration make 
 us safer. He brings together experts to expose the harm caused by 
 over-militarization, systemic bias, and punitive justice.\n\nDoors open at 
 5:30 pm. The film starts at 6 pm (runtime 83 mins) and is followed by a 
 Panel Discussion and Q&A with filmmaker/director Matthew Solomon. \n\nShot 
 on iPhone, the film shows how resources and care-based interventions reduce 
 crime while improving societal conditions. Since its February 2023 release 
 on streaming services, "Reimagining Safety" has been screened over 70 times 
 across the US and has been seen by over 4000 people at community impact 
 screenings hosted by more than 100 coalition organizations. \n\nThe film 
 was named Best Film by Evident Change's Media for a Just Society Award, 
 Best Documentary Feature at the Los Angeles Independent Film Festival, Best 
 Cinematography at The People's Film Festival in Harlem, and has received a 
 powerful endorsement by The Black Panther Party WA who has added it to 
 their political education curriculum.\n\nThis film event offers a 
 thought-provoking conversation on the urgent need for a more humane 
 approach to public safety.\n\nReserver your spot on Eventbrite at
