Know Your Rights Training: Cop Interactions | PM Session
Schedule
Fri Dec 20 2024 at 03:00 pm to 06:00 pm
UTC-07:00Location
The Monument | Rapid City, SD
NDN Collective invites Mni Luzahan community members to attend our FREE Know Your Rights Training. This Abolitionist training will be focused on cop interactions and give the community tools to use and feel empowered to invoke their constitutional rights when speaking to police. In Pennington County where NDN Collective is headquartered, Native Americans make up 9% of the population yet we make up 62% of the jail population. These statistics are not coincidental and show a racial targeting of our people on our homelands.Attendees of the training will learn about the cannabis law discrepancies and nuances that exist between legality of marijuana on the Pine Ridge reservation and state law. We’ll also give you tips on what to do in cop interactions, what to do in a search, and how to leave the cop interaction safely.
The Lakota Nation Invitational is a beautiful gathering of our youth, their families and supporters. Even though we are coming together in a beautiful way, we know our people may be targeted by cops in unlawful stops while they are in Mni Luzuhan.
Training will be held on Friday, December 20th at The Monument from 3-6 pm MT.
The first 40 people to register will receive a free swag bag!
