Portland Copwatch orientation (June 27):
Introduces you to our organization and many of the issues we work on, covers possibilities for volunteering, and contextualizes some of the "Alphabet soup" we talk about at meetings. (What's the PJTTF? The CRC? What's the APCA, the AMA, the AFSC? How can you express being anti-police brutality but not anti-police?)
The orientation is pretty much mandatory for people who want to be active members of Portland Copwatch.
Learn how to safely, legally and effectively monitor police
