Date and Time: 
Thursday, June 21, 2012 -
6:30pm to 9:00pm
Location: 
Trades Hall 54 Victoria Street, Melbourne, VIC 3053

Socialist Alternative hosts this special forum on the issue of racism and police violence, featuring

Tamar Hopkins: principle solicitor for Flemington & Kensington Community Legal Centre and industry expert on police and racism

Robbie Thorpe: Aboriginal activist and organiser of the Victorian Tent Embassy

Gerry Georgatos: Journalist and Researcher into Australian Deaths in Custody and Australian prisons and detention centres

Louisa Bassini: Socialist Alternative member and anti-racism activist

Given the ongoing racist attacks by the Victorian police, enforcing and perpetuating the racism of the Australian state more generally, this forum will discuss both the problem of racist police violence and what we can do about it.

All welcome.
