What does accountability actually look like when it comes to protest policing in New York City? And who gets to define whether change is real? Join us for a community roundtable as part of the Protest Testimony Project on June 16th, to learn more. peoplesforum.org/events/prote...

The streets spoke. 🗣️ Now it’s time to document the voices. 📄 Your testimony could inspire change for generations. ✨ www.protesttestimonyproject.org
