Free Webinar presented by

Surviving Race: The Intersection of Injustice, Disability, and Human Rights

Tuesday, June 30, 2020 @ 11am PST, 12pm MT, 1pm CT, 2pm EST

Since January 1, 2015, there have been 5,403 fatal police shootings, according to a Washington Post database. Studies show that as many as 50 percent of people killed by American police had registered disabilities and that a huge percentage of those were people with mental health conditions. And African Americans are at even higher risk due to the racism in our country and in our police forces.
In this webinar, Celia Brown and Braunwynn Franklin—representing Surviving Race: The Intersection of Injustice, Disability, and Human Rights—will focus on peace, healing, and justice, and how people with disabilities can fight injustice. The webinar will feature a discussion of statistics, and highlight practical strategies to dismantle systemic racism.
