People for Peace and Justice will host two police accountability activists from Cleveland at our March 16th meeting at First UCC in Fremont.
Chris Knestrick and Bishop Chui, two Cleveland residents and activists, will discuss the work being done in Cleveland to end systemic racism and its manifestation as police brutality. The conversation will begin with seeking to understand systemic racism in general and then focus the discussion on the work being done in Cleveland to end police brutality.
Chris Knestrick is a member of Cleveland Catholic Worker Community and Witness Against Torture. He helps run a drop in center in Cleveland and organizes to end state sponsored violence.
Bishop Chui is a community organizer in Cleveland’s Glenville neighborhood, a protester against police brutality and a longtime advocate for police accountability.

6:30pm – Potluck and conversation with our guests
7:30 – 8:30pm – Program: Cleveland activism to end systematic racism and police brutality
First UCC Church, 1500 Tiffin Rd., Fremont
