Kids of Colour and Northern Police Monitoring Project are excited to host this session with people, families, and grassroots groups who are impacted by and resisting state violence in Greater Manchester. You will hear contributions from those organising behind campaigns and movements such as Free the Manchester 10, End Police Pursuits, Not Guilty by Association, and Manchester Women's Justice Collective. Together, they will share the ways in which they resist state violence, challenge injustice, and dream of communities that care for people.

Please note, unfortunately Joy James was unable to attend due to an emergency.
