Join us to celebrate the publication of How to End Family Policing: From Outrage to Action (Haymarket) as we explore all the ways that family policing impacts our communities. From anti-abortion legislation, the policing of families, bans on gender-affirming care and undermining the self-determination of people experiencing violence and abuse, the family policing systems is an often ignored tool used to criminalize our communities.

Authors Shannon Perez-Darby and Shawn Koyano are joined by community organizers Såhi Velasco and Sully Sullivan for an evening of reading and conversation. Together we'll discuss how the family policing systems impacts our lives and the ways that together we can build flourishing communities.
