Protest Testimony Roundtable at The Free Black Women's Library
About this Event
What does accountability actually look like when it comes to protest policing in New York City? And who gets to define whether change is real?
Join us for a community roundtable as part of the Protest Testimony Project—an effort to make sure the people most impacted by protest policing have a direct line into how reforms are evaluated and enforced.
In the wake of recent policy changes and legal settlements shaping how the NYPD responds to protests, this space is about more than information-sharing. It’s about power. We’re bringing community members together to break down what’s changed, what hasn’t, and what accountability should look like moving forward.
This roundtable is an opportunity to:
- Learn about recent changes to NYPD protest policing policies
- Understand the ongoing settlement and compliance review process
- Share your experiences, observations, and concerns
- Directly inform how these reforms are assessed and implemented
Whether you’ve been on the frontlines, organizing in your community, or simply want to understand your rights and the current landscape—your voice matters here.
This is a free event. Refreshments will be provided.
