Event Description

Following the murder of George Floyd, many calls were made to defund and abolish the police system but, in the end there was no true conversation about improving public safety.

"Reimagining Safety", directed by Matthew Solomon, challenges the conventional belief that policing alone can address all societal safety issues.

In this film, 10 experts discuss how policing and incarceration create more harm than good, why the system persists, and what changes can be made to make everyone safe.
