Single ticket to a special screening of the documentary film Reimagining Safety.
Worldwide protests following the 2020 murder of George Floyd included calls to de-fund or abolish the police, until a sharp rise in crime gave politicians and police supporters the fuel they needed to suppress the movement. A detailed conversation about transforming public safety was never had. In this film (shot on iPhone), ten experts discuss how policing and incarceration create more harm than good, why the system persists, and what changes can be made to make everyone safe.
Included in the presentation is a discussion with filmmaker Matthew Solomon and panelists Channing Martinez of the Labor Community Strategy Center; Interim KPFK General Manager Michael Novick; community activist Gina Viola; activist poet and KPFK host Matt Sedillo; and a representative from Black Lives Matter Los Angeles. The screening takes place Wednesday, October 30, at 6:30 PM at Strategy and Soul Center, 3546 W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. at Crenshaw Blvd. in the Leimert Park / Africa Town area of Los Angeles. Proceeds from the event benefit KPFK.
