Join us on Wednesday, February 10th from 4-5:30 pm PST for a live Zoom webinar featuring members of the Snohomish County Defund Task Force, UWB Professor/renowned Author Dan Berger and others who will speak on the historical context of the defund movement, how they differ geographically, and how this impacts state/county-wide communities.

The event is in collaboration with the UWB Black Student Union and Achieving Community Transformation (ACT) who will present information about their orgs. and how students can get involved. Students will also have the chance to consult each speaker during the Q&A session.

**Zoom meeting link will be sent out thru email on the day of the event*

This event aims to educate individuals so that they can make an informed decision on whether or not to support the movement. This is not an event that is trying to critique the individual (police officers) it is an objective critique of the institution.

Event Learning Outcomes:

- To learn and understand the meaning behind defund movements/what defund the police is.
- To understand the historical context of defunding the police and how it shows up differently geographically.
- To see what a successful defund movement looks like.
- To understand the implications of reallocating funding from policing and how this has the potential to benefit surrounding communities.
