Criminal Justice Caucus is meeting tonight 8:10-9:00 pm (at the latest). We will do brief intros and assign roles for the semester + discuss FTP III logistics. Room 403. Email [email protected] for Zoom link if you'd like to attend remotely.

Hello everyone! Our speaker, Kim, who was going to lead the training today, had a family emergency last night and notified us this morning that she will be unable to make it today. With that said, the event has been CANCELLED for today. We are actively working to reschedule. Thank you to everyone who has expressed interest and had RSVP'd.

We are excited to announce that CJC will be hosting a Copwatch training by NYC Shut it Down organizers! We hope this is an informative and practical opportunity for people to do their part during the wake of the increasing demand for radical change.

Labels carry stigmas and stereotypes. They allow us to acknowledge social, cultural, or physical differences between one another. Labels also inadvertently influence our perceptions of one another depending on the social significance of the label that is attributed to a person. .
