Relations Between Community & Police Symposium

Relations Between Community and Police Symposium Announcement Relations Between Community and Police is a symposium sponsored by the Wisconsin University Union (WUU). As WUU stands for equity in the work place and our work place is a public university, the issue of Community-Police relations impacts us all. Locally and nationally there have been serious questions raised around Community-Police relations in past years. In this symposium our speakers directly address those questions, as well as proposed solutions to improve community-police relations.

Speakers will include:

  • Alix Shabaaz – Community Organizer and Freedom Fighter at Freedom Inc.;
  • Michael Davis – MA Student Department of African American Studies & PhD Student in the School of Education;
  • Ajani Carr – Youth Activist & Community Organizer;
  • David C. Couper – Retired Madison Police Chief, Activist, Clergy, Poet.

The symposium will be held Oct. 5 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. in Pyle Center Rooms #325 & #326, 702 Langdon St.  Refreshments will be served. This event is sponsored by:  Wisconsin University Union www.wuu.info
