Night Out for Safety and Liberation was created by the Ella Baker Center as an alternative to the police-centric National Night Out. Each year since 2013, more communities are coming together to reimagine what safety means beyond prisons, police and punishment. Ella Baker Center Deputy Director Marlene Sanchez and Freedom To Thrive Co-Director Melonie Griffiths host a discussion with organizers from across the country who held NOSL events this year: Denise Ruben, Lead Community Organizer, Women on the Rise (Atlanta) Diana Williams, Houston Organizing Manager, Texas Advocates for Justice (Houston) Nicole LaPorte, Equity and Transformation (Chicago) Yvonne Yen Liu, Research Director, Solidarity Research Center (Los Angeles)
