Cops, Curfews, and the Criminalization of Black Youth in DC

Cops, Curfews, and the Criminalization of Black Youth in DC

Black Workers & Wellness Center (map)

In D.C., Black youth are disproportionately targeted through curfews, police surveillance, and the school-to-prison pipeline, reinforcing a system built to criminalize and incarcerate them. These actions are part of a broader history of subjugation and violence rooted in slavery, colonialism, and capitalism. However despite this repression, youth have always played a central role in revolutionary movements against state oppression. From the Black Panther Party to the Young Lords, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and the Black Liberation Army, Black youth have been at the forefront of organizing for community power and social transformation.

Join Pan African Community Action (PACA) for the next Assata Shakur Study Group to explore how the criminalization of Black youth operates in D.C. and why it’s essential for youth to be at the heart of revolutionary response to community issues.

Light snacks and refreshments will be provided!

The People's Summit For Korea: Towards National Liberation

The People's Summit For Korea: Towards National Liberation

Riverside Church (map)

As imperialist warmongers and far-right forces threaten Korea’s future, we come together to galvanize the movement for Korea’s liberation. Through collective analysis, strategy, and dialogue, we will expand our vision of what Korea’s national liberation demands today.

We affirm Korea’s place within the broader anti-imperialist movement and uphold internationalism as essential to our shared struggle. The working people of Korea, the US, and around the world share a common desire for peaceful, dignified lives — and for governments that uphold these basic human needs rather than serve imperial interests.

Join us for a three-day convening featuring plenaries, panels, workshops, breakout sessions, and cultural performances!

Led by key figures in the Korean liberation movement and the global anti-imperialist struggle. We call on organizers, artists, intellectuals, students, and community members across the Korean diaspora, South Korea, and beyond to build our movement together.
