As protests against racial injustice and police violence continue across the country, Bay Area cities are now considering measures to reform, defund or even dismantle their police forces.  

But what will it take to build trust between our communities and law enforcement?  Tonight on City Visions on KALW 91.7 FM San Francisco at 6pm (our new time and back to Monday evening), I’ll discuss these efforts with:

• Matthew Barge, police practices and civil rights expert at 21CP Solutions; senior consultant with the Policing Project at N.Y.U. School of Law
• Cat Brooks, activist and cofounder of Anti-Police Terror Project; executive director of Justice Teams Network
• Malia M. Cohen, member of the California State Board of Equalization; former president of the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco

We’ll also get an update on the coronavirus pandemic with:

• Erin Allday, health reporter, San Francisco Chronicle
• Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, professor and infectious disease specialist, UCSF Medical School

And finally we’ll chat with Oakland artist Oree Originol, a visual artist and activist and creator of “Justice For Our Lives” portrait series, depicting individuals killed by police.
