Advocates and allies across New York State assembled last weekend to discuss the systemic flaws embedded in how policing is operated and potential solutions at the Seeds of Change: Redefining Policing and Public Safety Conference.
On Saturday, June 21, the nonprofit organization Long Island United To Transform Policing and Community Safety held its first all-encompassing policing reform conference, which hosted prominent speakers discussing how law enforcement has affected their lives through continuous racism and legal battles as well as some potential steps that can be made toward change.
