TELL THE ADL: END DEADLY POLICE EXCHANGES. Militaristic policing doesn’t make us safe!
Why will the Anti-Defamation League, a self-professed civil rights leader, have a table at a conference of police chiefs?
Join JVP Philly for this action outside the International Association of Chiefs of Police annual conference. We’ll be out there to call on the Anti-Defamation League to stop running exchange programs between U.S. police departments and Israeli military. These exchanges exacerbate racist police violence, militarization, and surveillance both here and in Israel/Palestine.
Policing doesn’t make us feel safe, and we reject safety built on militarized, racist, Islamophobic policing.
We’re working towards a world in which safety for all people is created through community and justice, and not for some people only through violence against others.
This action is part of the #DeadlyExchange campaign to end police exchanges between the US and Israel. To learn more and get involved with this local campaign email philly@jvp.org.
