Please join Redwood Curtain CopWatch on Saturday, Oct 22nd in front of the Humboldt Courthouse/Jail in Eureka for a Know Your Rights workshop!!

Gather and March from Highland Park on Sunday, October 23rd in Memory of Christopher Burgess and in Protest of Police Violence!

GOALS FOR THE PEOPLE

These goals should be implemented in short/long terms. Places that already have this or something similar, we ask that you support those of us that do not:

1. Know Your Rights Classes specific to your state. I.E. California vs. Texas Gun Laws

2. Local community based patrols. Make the police “services” obsolete in your community

3. Documentation of police activity that can later be used as evidence.

4. Community Review Boards- Establish or implement them with subpoena power with the ability to prosecute.

5. Tribunal del pueblo- The people’s court where the true peers and equals of the people assaulted can express, and try the offender.

Happy to report that I receive phone calls today from 2 different high schools teachers to set up 15 hr internships for their students at Idriss Stelley Foundation, prompted by the Mehserle Verdict and the police assassination of Derrick Jones.

Our internship includes Youth Know your Rights interactive training so that the kids can later conduct their own workshops in their schools.

We also take the kids on mural sightings in SF , depicting the saga of police brutality in our city, and hook them up with Hermana muralist Laura Campos to participate in murals currently in process. We train kids on how to apply for YEFAB (Youth Empowerment Funding Advisory
Board), and the SF Youth Commission. We also take the kids on tours of the Office of Citizens Complaints and prepare them to make public comments at the SF Police Commission.

Many of the kids we mentor have PTSD due to sustaining the loss on Loved Ones on the street.

Do you know what to do if you’re stopped by the police? Do your children?
Are you tired of your rights being violated?
This workshop focuses on the law "on the street” — what your rights are and how cops try to trick you out of them. We want to share strategies to survive police encounters.

Hosted by Redwood Curtain CopWatch

Thoughts on police and policing

Featured, Racial Equity — By Jo Nubian on June 25, 2010 at 7:36 am

He may be a very nice man. But I haven’t got the time to figure that out. All I know is, he’s got a uniform and a gun and I have to relate to him that way. That’s the only way to relate to him because one of us may have to die. ~ James Baldwin

The workshop will be at PARC, Peoples' Action for Rights and Community, in Eureka.  DIRECTIONS BELOW

To get to PARC from the North:
Turn right onto Q St. from the 101 North (aka 4th Street).
After the Stop sign at 3rd and Q, take a right into the alley. (There is a greenish blue house at the head of the alley). 
PARC is on the right in the alley.  You'll see PARC signs. You've gone a little too far if you reach the end of the alley and the Samoa bridge road.

A law professor who is a former defense attorney explains why he will never talk to the police, and why NO ONE SHOULD EVER TALK TO THE POLICE.

The criminal charge being of "drunk in public" actually requires more than being drunk and being in public: the legal standard requires that a person be so drunk as to be a danger to themselves or others

CALIFORNIA'S DRUNK IN PUBLIC LAW:

We want to add more links and offer community and individual empowerment tools, and resources for resistance to state repression.  We welcome suggestions for this resource page as well!  Here's a beginning.  

*Please see our Web Resources page for bad-ass links.

from their website:  http://westdenvercopwatch.wordpress.com/

....Police are consistently traumatizing and occupying our communities. Something as simple as a video camera, a pen and a pad of paper can significantly help deter the police from violating our community members’ rights.  We collect footage that both holds the police accountable and informs the people of their abuse of power.

Skillshare/Workshop:
Navigating the 'mental health system'- Know your rights

Northcoast Icarus Project will be hosting at the PARC space [Peoples' Action for Rights and Communty].  No "experts" will be present.  Come share your experiences and gain new knowledge.
