The movement to transform Chicago is alive and building. Men Against Violence Research Collaborative (MAVReC) is looking for people who’s lives have been impacted by the city’s injustice system, whether that be through racist police harassment, police violence and, more broadly, racism within Chicago’s schools, courts and prisons. Take this opportunity to speak out against police brutality and join us in our collective fight against oppression.
We are currently working on a video based oral history project on police brutality and youth resistance. This process requires conducting interviews which is why we are reaching out to you. We are going to post these interviews on our website as a resource for youth of color and communities where these tools can be shared. As a part of a larger effort, we will be creating an informative manual regarding interactions with police. With our project we are hoping to reduce police violence by providing preventative techniques and information for youth of color. If you have any experiences with racial profiling, police harassment or forms of police violence we would like to include you in our interviews. Or, if you know anybody who has also had these experiences we would greatly appreciate you putting us in contact with them.
**Interviewees will receive $15 in compensation for their participation and an additional $10 for bringing in an additional participant.
If you would like to be involved or have any further questions please email us at mavrecypar@gmail.com.
