About Me

COPWATCH Long Beach is a chapter of COPWATCH Los Angeles . It is a program dedicated to the struggle that will end police terrorism through collecting information on and observing police activity, offer support for those caught in the criminal (in)justice system, fight for change without a reformist consciousness, and ultimately work side-by-side with oppressed communities to create Revolutionary alternatives to policing, prisons, and all systems of domination, oppression and exploitation.
Our Goals:
- Form neighborhood patrols within the communities we live
- Offer support to those people and their families harassed, brutalized and/or murdered by law enforcement agencies
- Develop intelligence through research and study groups
- Share resources, education, and trainings with communities interested in supporting and/or creating a COPWATCH program
- Participate in the process of building autonomy, self-determination, and the self-organization of our many communities
