COMMUNITY FORUM

Washington Ethical Society, 7750 16th St. NW

Tuesday, December 17th, 2013, 7-9pm

●Do you know someone who's been arrested or locked up?

● Do you wonder why arrests rates are higher in “gentrifying” areas?

● Have you or someone you know been racially profiled in DC?

● Do you want to work for racial justice in our communities? COMMUNITY SPEAK OUT will follow a short presentation about racial disparities in DC law enforcement. ALL ARE WELCOME! Please join us and share your experience and views. If you live or work in DC, especially in neighborhoods near Washington Ethical Society — CITIZEN, NON- CITIZEN, AND RETURNING (EX-OFFENDER) CITIZENS — all are encouraged to attend.

Why: Recent reports by ACLU of the Nation’s Capital and the Washington Lawyers Committee highlight staggering and racial disparity in law enforcement in the District of Columbia.

END MASS INCARCERATION — END THE WAR ON DRUGS

DEMAND A SAFE AND FREE DC FOR ALL

This event is co-sponsored by the Family and Friends of Incarcerated People, the ACLU of the Nation’s Capital, Returning Citizens United, and the Washington Lawyer’s Committee.
