quote:
 "The world watched as residents of Ferguson took to the streets to protest when Mike Brown’s killer, officer Darren Wilson was set free. We watched videos of Sandra Bland assert her right to dignity in Texas. We watched as Rekia Boyd’s killer was set free on a technicality. We watched as the streets of Baltimore exploded in protest when the video footage of Freddie Gray’s arrest went viral. We watched as the streets of Chicago came alive when police dash cam footage showed LaQuan McDonald’s young body shot down in the street. We watched as the streets filled with protesters for Eric Garner and Akai Gurley.

But what about Brooklyn?

Could Brooklyn be the next Ferguson, Baltimore or Chicago?

Join the Center for Law and Social Justice(CLSJ) for a powerful discussion about the ways that Brooklyn is connected to the broader struggle for racial justice."
