Welcome to the Police Brutality Teach-Out Live Town Hall. This public online learning experience was created in response to the recent deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery and the urgent need for wider public understanding of police brutality and systemic racism in the United States. In The Police Brutality Teach-Out, learners develop greater understanding of the history and policies impacting police violence in the U.S., understand the demands of protesters, and gain the knowledge and tools to fight for change locally.
