The Fight Agains Police Brutality, Past and Present

The Oscar Grant Committee against Police Brutality and State Repression was formed in 2010 after the one-day shutdown of the Port of Oakland demanding Justice for Oscar Grant. Since then, the committee has been involved in struggles for justice for families of victims of police violence, opposition to police attacks on rallies and demonstrations, and assisting the International Longshore and Warehouse Union #10 with May Day rallies.

The panelists will talk about the history of the committee, the increased militarization of the police, The fight against the fake science of “exicted delirium” to justify abuse by police, and the ongoing gross police violence in Vallejo and Antioch. Speakers include:

Melissa Nold – civil rights attorney in Vallejo, California
Richard Tan, attorney, speaking about Stop Cop Campus, San Pablo, California
Robert Collins – Angelo Quinto Foundation
