Please join us for an exciting talk with Andrea Ritchie, Co-Founder of Interrupting Criminalization. This public lecture will be followed by a dialogue with Dr. Lee Ann Wang and a Q&A session.

About the Speaker: Andrea Ritchie is a Black lesbian immigrant survivor who has been documenting, organizing, advocating, litigating, and agitating around policing and criminalization of Black women, girls, trans, and gender nonconforming people for the past three decades. She is the author of numerous books and most recently published Practicing New Worlds: Abolition and Emergent Strategies as well as international reports on the racial and sexual violence of policing, surveillance, and public safety enforcement for the United Nations, Amnesty International, INCITE!, Desis Rising Up and Moving, and the American Civil Liberties Union. Ritchie was a movement lawyer in New York for LGBTQ communities and along with Mariam Kaba, co-founded Interrupting Criminalization, a network of over 20 organizations working to end police violence against Black women, girls, trans and gender nonconforming people. This flyer is too small to fit all of Andrea Ritchie’s life work!

We hope to see you there!
