WILD Conversations: Addressing Systemic Racism in Community Safety with Erin Maye Quade, former Minnesota State Representative and current Advocacy Director at Gender Justice In May, following the tragic killing of George Floyd, TCDIP’s Emerging Leaders Group launched WILD, the Wanton Injustice Legal Detail. Focused on six areas of systemic racial inequality, WILD's mission is to harness the collective power of TCDIP’s membership to remedy systemic anti-Black racism in the Twin Cities by partnering with and amplifying the work of existing community organizations. Through our WILD Conversations series, TCDIP will provide opportunities for you to learn more about WILD’s six focus areas. Join us for the first WILD Conversations series! Starting in November, this first series will focus on how to address systemic racism in community safety and policing. We will host diverse voices on the issue to allow our community to learn more about the issues and proposed solutions. Currently, the series will feature voices from the Minnesota ACLU, Communities United Against Police Brutality, and government officials who have held positions enforcing anti-discrimination laws and policies and providing oversight of police departments. Additional speakers and dates will be added on an ongoing basis. Interested in more events like this? Visit our full calendar and search for “WILD Conversations” to find more events in this series!
