With an introduction from Erica Meiners, facilitated by Shannon Perez-Darby and special guest Shira Hassan, this workshop will explore the way that mandatory reporting is used to criminalize families and communities. Together we will discuss why mandatory reporting is not neutral, how mandatory reporting and family policing connects to other forms of criminalization and how to resist calls to “comply in advance.”

This workshop is for educators, social workers, youth workers, those in the public health realms and all community members impacted by mandatory reporting and family policing. Come to learn about why these laws are harmful and how to resist!

📅 Wednesday December 3rd 6:30-8:00pm
