"A Call To Families Impacted By Police Violence"

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION  - We are calling for families impacted by police violence, that is, individuals who have lost loved ones or injured during a police-related encounter, and trusted supporters. Trusted supporters will have to be vouched for by family members. We are also calling for advocates who already work with the families or who are interested in doing so, including health, mental health and alternative healing professionals, public health administrators, trauma workers, legal services providers, educators and community organizers.
During this network gathering we will address the following questions:

• What happens when your loved one is killed by the police?
• What can the anti-police violence movement learn from families impacted by police violence?
• What can we learn from family members who have become veteran activists in the anti-police violence movement?
• How can families impacted by police violence build collective power locally and globally?
• How can communities assess the traumas experienced by families impacted by police violence to better inform how we may better respond to future incidents?
• How can we strategically source local resources to support families impacted by police violence?
• How can public health institutions specifically service families impacted by police violence?
• What self-care practices can family members learn to address the short and long-term trauma they experience?
• What can we learn from the history of police violence? And what do we still have to learn about this history?
• What is the meaning of justice to families impacted by police violence?
• How can artists and media makers best support families in their struggle towards justice?

In addition to attending our network gathering, we are encouraging families and participants to propose presentations and workshops.
