Richmond Public Library, Whittlesey Community Room
325 Civic Center Plaza
Richmond
Ground Breaking Police Policy Faces First Test
In January 2016, the Richmond City Council responded to a grassroots social justice movement by establishing a new police accountability policy desiigned to protect Richmond residents from unjust police violence by holding police accountable for such actions. The new procedure requires a special investigaion, independent of the Police and District Attorney, of any police killing or serious injury caused by police. If successful, this new policy could inspire other cities across America to follow its example as a measure to stop the epidemic of unjust police violence that plagues our nation.
The first test of this landmark policy will be the case of Pedie Perez, a young man shot and killed by Richmond Police Officer Jensen on September 14, 2014, leading to widespread community concern over a possible cover-up.
The social justice movement, the people of Richmond, and the whole nation are watching. Attend this public forum which will outline the facts of this case, the progress of the investigation, and the implications for the broader struggle for justice here in Richmond and across the nation.

Let’s show them that the Bay Area community loves and supports them too. We’ll have transportation from Oscar Grant Plaza in Oakland for anyone that needs a ride.
Open Circle holds space for families directly impacted by police terrorism to gather with each other and members of the community. This gathering also provides opportunity and some structure to help families collaborate with each other in their struggle for justice for their loved ones.
