Dear John,

Sexual assault is the second most frequently reported type of misconduct by police. [1] Predatory members of the police often prey on people who use drugs, people who have prior arrest records, immigrants, people with disabilities, and sex workers. [2] However, the harm done to individuals and communities through police sexual misconduct is felt by everyone. When we speak out against police violence, we must include sexual assault and harassment.

Join us tomorrow, Tuesday, April 21, at 3:00 p.m. ET for our next Act and Learn webinar, Seeking Justice: Sexual Assaults by Police.

For our next Act and Learn webinar, Seeking Justice: Sexual Assaults by Police, we will dive deep into the issue of sexual misconduct by police, and learn from activists seeking justice for survivors in the courts and through grassroots organizing.

Don’t miss this critical discussion of sexual assault by police, the hurdles advocates face seeking justice, and how people are organizing for justice and accountability.

Confirmed speakers include:

  • Chelsea K. Merta, Esq., Lotus Law
  • Grace Franklin, co-founder, OKC Artists for Justice

Sign up now for our next monthly Act and Learn webinar, Seeking Justice: Sexual Assaults by Police, taking place tomorrow, Tuesday, April 21, at 3:00 p.m. ET.
