What is Kwanzaa?

Kwanzaa is an African-American & Pan-African Holiday which celebrates family, community and culture founded by Dr. Maulana Karenga in 1966. Celebrated from December 26-January 1st, its origins are in the first harvest celebration of Africa from which it takes its name. The name Kwanzaa is derived from the phrase, “matunda ya kwanza” which means “first fruits” in Swahili, a Pan-African language which is the most widely spoken African language.

Data Driven: Advancing Racial Justice & Police Accountability (ACLU SD) @ UDW/AFSCME
Dec 3 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

We have a right to know how law enforcement interacts with our communities. The public should be able to trust that when an officer stops a person, it is for a legitimate and justifiable reason. However, officers entrusted to enforce our laws disproportionately stop, question and search Black and brown people in our community.

Please plan to attend our upcoming event, Data Driven: Advancing Racial Justice & Police Accountability in San Diego on Tuesday, December 3, for an analysis of policing practices in the San Diego region.

On December 3, the ACLU of San Diego & Imperial Counties will release a commissioned report that analyzes traffic and pedestrian stop data from the San Diego Police Department and San Diego County Sheriff’s Department.

You are invited to attend a special event to learn about this new report and to explore ways to address racially-biased policing, reduce police violence, improve accountability and make San Diego safer and more just for all.

The report’s author, Samuel Sinyangwe, data scientist and co-founder of Campaign Zero, will present on the report’s findings and recommendations.
