Vital work by law enforcement in Monterey County includes the work outlined in story by John C. Murray, who served for over 28 years in local law enforcement. https://www.montereycountynow.com/news/cover/a-decade-after-salinas-was-dubbed-the-youth-murder-capital-a-look-back-at-an/article_8129a930-d779-4034-bfc5-bf4855be1604.html. We biked those hoods regularly in those years, particularly North Hebbron.

The Prevent Duty has transformed trusted public sector workers into agents of counter-terror policing.
And those in need of support into subjects of suspicion.
Community safety demands real investment in education, community services and local infrastructure to support often young and vulnerable people – not to stigmatise and surveil them.

Prevent referrals rocketed by almost 40% last year in England and Wales 🚨
Of those referred into this counter-terrorism programme, the majority were under 18. Almost 400 were children under 10!
More than a third have a mental health condition or are neurodiverse.
This is a huge expansion of the surveillance state.

"Perhaps the most striking trend is the continued growth of #RightWing #extremism. Referrals linked to #FarRight concerns rose by 42%, increasing from 1,480 to 2,103 cases in just one year. By contrast, referrals relating to Islamist extremism fell by 9%, dropping from 945 to 860."

Republicans’ ‘dumb on crime’ crusade in Washington, DC, is coming to your state next https://therealnews.com/republicans-dumb-on-crime-crusade-in-washington-dc-is-coming-to-your-state-next @therealnews
We haven’t had cash bail in over 30 years in DC. And you know what that means we haven’t had in this city? Our bail bondsmen or these companies that are very predatory to poor people that require these payments and that make money regardless of what the person does after they’ve been released.

"As the horror of Trump’s mass deportations campaign has become part of daily life, it has only become easier for state and local Democrats to oppose ICE. One would think they have even stronger ground to contest ICE when it comes to their collaboration with state and local police. When will they?"

"There is so much collaboration happening between ICE and local law enforcement in those places that the scale of enforcement is much greater, without the same level of spectacle."
very important read!

Commentary on the #SomervilleMA police #bodyCameras situation, and what the Mayor might be trying to do, from Chris Dwan:

Here is a generic-language version of the email I just sent to #Somerville Council about police #bodycameras for the 12pm deadline.
https://sandstorm.appux.com/shared/lGlNKXBAaxeBW0-1FUCMihCp9r-K3h6HryHO2vNa4oaIf you are delivering public comment tonight, feel free to adapt ideas in there. It's a complicated issue, and I know that concerns differ.

On Friday, the Mayor also released this self-congratulatory video about the body camera policy that he's hoping will be passed on Monday: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbJLZDzRjl3/
(apologies for the Instagram link)It's important to note that despite the fact that Mayor Wilson mentions #oversight in the same breath as body cameras, no civilian oversight body exists in #Somerville at this time, and creating one will likely take years.

From the perspective of those of us trying to provide current information on this issue to the public, it's incredibly frustrating that *after* the Mayor scheduled this Special Meeting (on very short notice), he then proceeded to update the policy that is being discussed at the special meeting, just two business days before the public is supposed to provide comment (and the Council is supposed to vote).

Update: On July 23rd, the Mayor introduced a new version of the STIR and TSSUP for police #bodycameras in #Somerville. The new documents clarify a number of policy points, but don't substantively address the concerns we've highlighted in our toolkit above.

«Not Your Rescue Project: Migrant sex workers fighting for justice»
👤 Chanelle Gallant 👤 Elene Lam
🗓 2024-11-12
📔 Haymarket Books 🛒 https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2258-not-your-rescue-project
🌐 Website: https://www.notyourrescueprojectbook.com> A landmark abolitionist primer on migration, sex work, policing, and the “anti-trafficking industry”—and a powerful argument about who is really leading the way toward justice: migrant sex workers themselves.
> In this impassioned corrective to decades of misguided, carceral approaches to migration and sex work, long-time organizers Chanelle Gallant and Elene Lam deftly expose the harms of criminalization in the name of “anti-trafficking” and lift up migrant sex workers’ organizing in the US, Canada, and elsewhere. In doing so, they make the compelling case that the only effective response to the needs of migrant sex workers must be led by migrants in the sex trade, as they fight for rights, safety, and autonomy.
> Gallant and Lam illustrate how this movement is taking aim at the root causes of violence and abuse: the white supremacist securitization of borders, the criminalization of both migration and sex work, the patriarchial devaluation of women’s labor, and forced displacement due to climate disaster, war, and poverty—all fueled by racial capitalism.
> An indispensable exploration of the relationship between migration and sex work—and the underlying societal conditions they reflect—Not Your Rescue Project is a thorough indictment of the anti-trafficking industry as an engine of criminalization and state violence, and an instructive account of the emancipatory politics already being practiced by migrant sex workers in their organizing. Throughout, Gallant and Lam place migrant sex workers at the center of struggles against border imperialism, carceral states, and capitalism—dispelling a range of poisonous myths and paving the way for deeper alliances across movements with the shared goal of dismantling and abolishing carceralism in all its forms.

Here is the latest update from the Somerville ad hoc group working on the body cameras issue: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRiU1P7QeQoR9Tbx-xr1wzevoa7D5UnRo8kRdEws6CFHLEgDCU7EzDkR60PAv4Rk0FByuZemkjya95c/pub
The very short version is that the Mayor is still trying to rush this specific body cameras policy through without proper deliberation and that #Somerville is holding a special meeting on July 27th for public comment *and* a vote.
This is *not* the public comment session that was requested by petition.
