Hi CUCPJ,

There's a panel tonight "Racial Oppression: State Violence and 
Housing&Labor Struggles in the Black Community" at 6:30 in Room 259 of 
the English Building on campus. I've been asked to join the panel to 
talk about our Coalition for Police Demilitarization. Other friends are 
also on the panel.

In the past 12 months, state sponsored violence, or police brutality 
against African Americans, has intensified across the nation. The 
horrific Ferguson, Missouri episode pushes the systemic and current 
reality of racial oppression back at the forefront and allows for 
community members, students, and academic figures to discuss the 
epidemic of structural racism and how it affects us all, both internally 
and externally, and at the national, state, and local level in 
Champaign-Urbana and the University of Illinois.

This panel opens serious discussion about the reality of a racial 
America and possible strategy planning in the future. Featured speakers 
on the panel:

Sundiata Cha-Jua, Associate Professor of History & African American Studies

Ruby Mendenhall, Assistant Professor of Sociology & African American Studies

Byron Clark, Champaign Community Organizer & Activist

Imani Bazzell, Champaign Community Organizer & Media Personality

The panel will be moderated by Augustus Wood III, PhD Student in History.

This event will be held in room 259 of the English Building.

Please join us in having a real discussion about how we will survive, 
thrive, and CHANGE America. Snacks and beverages will be served. Bring 
as many guests as you can!
