September 11-12, 2014, New York, NY

Today, Communities United for Police Reform, The Center for Popular Democracy and Local Progress will kick-off a one and a half day meeting focused on police accountability with advocates, elected officials, funders and local leaders from across the country.

The national convening will focus on policy solutions to end discriminatory and abusive policing in New York City and across the country.  By helping to deepen relationships among partners, elected officials and other stakeholders, the convening will be an important and timely contribution to the movement for respectful and responsive policing.

We invite you to join the conversation online, using the hashtag #ChangePolicing.  Be sure to follow @changethenypd, @popdemoc and @LegalProgress on Twitter for updates.
