First LA Cop Watch Meeting 10/24
First meeting to begin planning for a Cop Watch in Los Angeles on Monday October 24 at 7pm at the YJC Center 253 W. Martin Luther King Blvd (cross street is Broadway off the 110 fwy) contact: Joaquin Cienfuegos at morph3030@yahoo.com
We want all people who are interested in planning and organizing in a proactive way to empower our communities to stop police brutality and murder.
This is a project of the STOP Coalition (Stop Terrorism and Oppression by Police) -- which includes the Youth Justice Coalition, the Southern California Anarchist Federation (LA), and other organizations and individuals. This project was initiated by SCAF-LA.
The meetings will be used to plan patrols, and plan trainings on organizing a cop watch in other communities -- our efforts are for particular communities to start organizing themselves and provide tools to help in that process.
What is a cop watch: - community members, and supporters, patrol police when they're carrying out their business as usual (harrassing, and profiling) - they observe with cameras, and/or legal observers - take down police badge numbers and license plates - take direct action to stop police brutality and police murder - they help give resources to communities who are organizing to stop police brutality - its a concrete way that a community can organize itself, and be proactive - they eventually take their communities back from the police
