Juneteenth Car Caravan and other events here in Pasadena

Today there will a Car Caravan celebrating Juneteenth and calling for a "Bill of RIghts" here in Pasadena:

The National Day Laborer Organizing Network and the Pasadena NAACP released a community Bill of Rights on Tuesday.

The groups are calling for sweeping and profound changes in law enforcement, which it states has been plagued with systemic racism for centuries.

According to the document the city must defend equal justice, acknowledge its unjust past, face the unjust present and reform unjust policing.

The group is demanding the city adopt civilian oversight, divert 20 percent of the police budget — more than $16 million — to social services and reduce the number of police officer through attrition.

The document also calls for reform in the department’s use of force policies, an end to police surveillance and racial profiling, more psychological evaluations, an expansion of local hiring at the department, anti-bias training and an end to conflicts of interest and the militarization of the department.  https://www.pasadenanow.com/main/pasadena-activists-release-community-bill-of-rights/
