Intersections Between The 'War on Crime & The 'War on Terror, a Town Hall Meeting, Riverside Church, NY April 18

April 18th, 2013

6:30-8:30pm

At The Riverside Church Assembly Hall

Free Admission

The US’ “War on Drugs” and “War on Terror” have produced a parallel system of state violence and social control, manifested through unjust prosecutions and the mass incarceration of people of color.

Join us on April 18th from 6:30-8:30pm for a town hall discussion as we hear first-hand stories from former prisoners, family members, lawyers, intellectuals, historians and activists about excessive sentences, discriminatory policing, suppression of political dissent, and mass incarceration.

After the event, if a consensus is reached, we will hit the streets for a solidarity march through Harlem!
