Understanding “Defunding the Police” with Alex S. Vitale
November 15, 2020 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
EHST will join with the Riverdale Yonkers Society for Ethical Culture (RYSEC) to hear their program on defunding the police. Here’s the writeup from RYSEC:
“You’ve likely heard the calls for defunding the police, during this summer’s demonstrations against police killings. You may agree and wonder how we could get there, or you may think that defunding goes too far, or you may just wonder what it means. Whatever your reaction, here’s a chance to find out more.”
“Alex S. Vitale will be our guest speaker on this morning. Professor Vitale, who teaches in the Department of Sociology at Brooklyn College and has researched and written about the future of policing for 30 years, will explain the ‘defund the police’ movement and its relationship to the long struggle for racial and economic justice.”
This talk will be presented via a Zoom session. You do not need a Zoom account to “attend” this virtual meeting. If you would like to be a participant in the meeting, please email us at info@ncethicalsociety.org and provide your first and last name in your request.
