Join Amnesty International for a panel discussion on police brutality and the urgent need for police reform in the US, and what you can do to support this campaign. The discussion will be followed by a Q&A.
George Floyd’s death came in the wake of a series of acts of racist violence against Black Americans that illustrates astounding levels of violence and discrimination in the USA. In 2019 alone, the police were involved in the deaths of over 1,000 people in the USA, with Black people being disproportionally impacted by these killings.
Alongside human rights activists and grassroots organisations like Black Lives Matter, Amnesty has been campaigning for the US government to implement meaningful change to ensure that law enforcement respect human rights, as well as for accountability and justice for the victims of police brutality.
Come and hear from our expert panel: Kristina Roth is the Senior Advocate for Criminal Justice Programs at Amnesty International USA Ernest Coverson serves at the End Gun Violence Campaign Manager for Amnesty International USA Alli Jarrar is Amnesty International North America Campaigner
