The Labor Movement & Police Unions: A Teach-in with Theresa Rocha Beardall
& Defund UIPD
Tuesday, November 17, 2020; 5:30pm
"Did you know? The Urbana Police Department and the UIUC Police Department
are negotiating their union contracts right now. These contracts work to
embolden police power by shielding cops from accountability, transparency,
and fairness and have been tied to increased violent “misconduct.” We have
the opportunity to demand community accountability and interrupt the power
of these contracts. At this teach-in, we’ll learn about the overarching
problems with cop unions and dig into the details of the current UPD and
UIPD contracts. Let’s mobilize to win."

Theresa Rocha Beardall is an Assistant Professor of Sociology, Criminology,
and American Indian Studies at Virginia Tech whose research examines police
and policing at the intersection of race, class, and labor law.

This event is sponsored by HRI-Mellon Legal Humanities Initiative, GEO, and
