Episode 56: On 10 Years Since Floyd v. NYC: the Ongoing Campaign to End Racist Policing in NYC
Feb 22, 2024
Center for Constitutional Rights

In episode 56 of The Activist Files, we’ll hear a discussion sparked by the 10th anniversary of the historic ruling in our stop-and-frisk case, Floyd, et. al v. City of New York.

The Center for Constitutional Rights, together with NYU Review of Law & Social Change, NYU’s Ending the Prison Industrial Complex, and NYU’s National Lawyers Guild Chapter, brought together law students, lawyers, organizers, and impacted community members for a one-day symposium on November 3, 2023. Together, they reflected on lessons learned in the last decade of struggle for police reform and accountability, and imagined a future of abolition and community safety.

What you will hear is the first panel of the day: “10 Years Since Floyd.” The panelists were activist and organizer Joo-Hyun Kang, who formerly headed the coalition Communities United for Police Reform; Floyd plaintiff David Ourlicht; and Floyd counsel Darius Charney, now the Director of the Racial Profiling and Biased Policing Investigations Unit at the New York City Civilian Complaint Review Board, also known as the CCRB. Our own Advocacy Director, Nadia Ben-Youssef moderated.

Speakers:
Darius Charney, Floyd counsel, current Director of the Racial Profiling and Biased Policing Investigations Unit at the New York City Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB)
Joo-Hyun Kang, activist and organizer
David Ourlicht, Floyd plaintiff

Moderator:
Nadia Ben-Youssef, Director of Advocacy
