This summit will bring together advocates and candidates for city-wide elections to discuss the harms of surveillance and gang policing in New York City and the fight for racial justice and true safety. We will hear from community and youth leaders, legal experts, impacted NYers, advocates and candidates for offices all across the city about dangerous police tactics that have grown over the past few years, like the expansion of the controversial NYPD gang database as well as new surveillance weapons.

The summit will include panels, breakout groups, and an open forum with candidates and community members. The goal of the event is to build support for legislation to #EraseTheDatabase, ending violent gang policing tactics, and building community alternatives to violence.
