Collective theaters. Community organizing. Radical film outside corporate control. In this clip, Tami Gold reminds us that radical cinema circulates because organizers insist it does. Watch the full interview with Third World Newsreel on Laura Flanders & Friends: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBgE...

Excited to be showing our film @sexworkfilm.bsky.social in Cambridge next month.

When crime #s go down every local police official tries to take credit. But, these are broad national and international trends that have little or nothing to do w local police decision making.

Note that this is local police not ICE or CPD attacking these young people. Local police are working overtime to distance themselves from ICE/CPD. Don't buy the hype.

🎬 Audience reactions from SEX WORK: IT’S JUST A JOB at La Jícara Oaxaca (Jan 29). Powerful conversations, moved audiences, and voices that stayed with us. This is the power of storytelling. 💛 #SexWorkItsJustAJob #WorkIsWork #FilmForChange

BORTAC is the SWAT for Border Patrol. Among other things, they failed to save students in Uvalde.

Excited to be showing our film (@sexworkfilm.bsky.social) in Pittsburgh this week. Friday, 7 PM Kelly Stayhorn Theater.

PSJP coordinator Alex Vitale will join tonight’s virtual panel on abolition to discuss policing, incarceration and community alternatives. @alexvitale.bsky.social @mattytheglue.bsky.social

“I think it’s a big mistake to look at this as a problem of training… We are seeing the mobilization of a federal police force to carry out a campaign of terror for political purposes.” Project coordinator @alexvitale.bsky.social on @aljazeera.com discussing recent ICE actions.

Great convo yesterday w folks in Fresno. Big uptick in requests like this.

I'll be in Pittsburgh on Feb 6th to show our film @sexworkfilm.bsky.social:

Excellent intervention from @kojokoram.bsky.social. Big fan.

Ha! Anyone know who made this?

My comments on recent NYPD shootings. gothamist.com/news/two-nyp...

Professor Alex Vitale and Author of The End of Policing, discusses the significance of the NYPD Protest Settlement and the central role of organizing, testimony, and First Amendment protections. Learn more at protesttestimonyproject.org @psjpbc.bsky.social @alexvitale.bsky.social

After a flurry of right-wing attack pieces following his appointment to the Mamdani Transition team, Project Coordinator Alex Vitale also received some positive coverage, including this short video interview for Current Affairs. @currentaffairs.bsky.social @alexvitale.bsky.social

Researchers consistently fail to consider the true costs of policing when they evaluate its effectiveness. Traffic stops don't improve safety and have massive social costs.

When we dramatically expand police power, we should expect a lot more of this.

Wonderful screenings of @sexworkfilm.bsky.social in Oakland and San Francisco this week.
