The Charleston Area Justice Ministry (CAJM), Citizen Police Advisory Committee (CPAC), Human Affairs and Racial Conciliation Commission (HARCC), YWCA Greater Charleston, are excited to unveil a collaborative event designed to amplify your impact during Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Week.
On January 25, 2024, from 5:30 pm and 7:30 pm at the St. Patrick Parish Center (127 St. Philip Street), will be the Community Forum and Research Presentation focused on the External Review and Assessment (ERA) of the 2019 Racial Bias Audit. The presentation will provide a holistic view of data, findings, and recommendations. We welcome input from Charleston residents, community leaders, and those passionate about the intersection of public safety and race in the city.
There will be small group discussions and results reporting will allow community members to provide feedback and voice any concerns they may have. We invite your voice, insights, and feedback to make a lasting impact on crucial topics like racial disparities analysis, community engagement, and fidelity assessment of the CPD's response to the 2019 Racial Bias Audit.
For those unable to attend in person, a remote option will be available. The organizers are dedicated to establishing a collaborative, trustworthy process among community members, organizers, the City and CPD, extending beyond 2024. This is a unique opportunity for community leaders, residents, and justice advocates to converge, share perspectives, and contribute to positive change within our city. Your active participation will shape the dialogue and drive tangible progress as we honor Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Week.
Your presence and input are vital as we collectively address issues of racial bias and justice in our community. Your participation in this essential community dialogue is highly encouraged as we unite for progress and change. Refreshments will be provided.
