The Rise of Police Unions

How did broad social backlash to Black liberation movements of the 1950s and 1960s grant police unions the power to dictate the policy and culture of municipal policing? Join the Center for Racial Justice for a timely conversation examining the historical roots of police union power and how these dynamics continue to shape debates around accountability, labor, and reform. The event will include discussion and space for audience questions.Lunch from Jerusalem Garden provided.
