Though the idea of police may seem commonplace to us today, modern forms of law enforcement have only been around for about 200 years.
There are many practical, real-world alternatives to policing that communities are experimenting with all over the world. From unarmed mediation to restorative justice to the decriminalization of nonviolent crimes, the possibilities are endless.
Join us for a casual discussion on police, their history, and what we can imagine living in a world without police may look like. Everyone is welcome.
