Invisible No More: Police Responses to Violence

Featuring Mariame Kaba (Co-Founder, Survived & Punished and Project NIA), Cara Page (Activist in Residence, Barnard Center for Research on Women), Jemisha Williams (Audre Lorde Project, Safe Outside the System), and Renata Hill (New Jersey 7). Moderated by Ejeris Dixon (Vision Change Win Consulting)

Recorded November 4, 2017 at the conference Invisible No More: Resisting Police Violence Against Black Women & Women of Color in Troubled Times
About the Conference
As the pendulum swings toward intensified immigration enforcement, discredited drug war tactics, expansion of “broken windows” policing, rampant Islamophobia, and attacks on gender, sexual and reproductive liberation, the current political climate fuels police violence against Black women and women of color on every front. In this context, women of color’s experiences of policing – often invisible in broader debates – must in turn fuel our resistance. This conference was the first in a series of events taking place in the midwest, south, and west coast to explore the themes of Invisible No More and ongoing resistance to police violence against Black women and women of color.
