The Badges Without Borders DC Walking Tour will start at 1:00 pm on Saturday, April 9th at Dupont Circle and will explore 4 sites in Northwest DC connected to how policing and state violence have been exported and imported worldwide from the District. The Walking Tour will be led by Stuart Schrader, who researches how the United States projected imperial power overseas through police training and security assistance—and how this effort reverberated to shape the policing of city streets at home. The Walking Tour will connect those efforts to the people and sites in DC that made them happen. The tour will visit the former International Police Services site, the Letelier-Moffitt Memorial at Sheridan Circle, a contemporary site, and the former International Police Academy site at the Car Barn in Georgetown. Speakers will connect the work to undo policing and the export of violence work to the present day, specifically to ongoing organizing to ban IDF training of the Metropolitan Police Department.

The Badges Without Borders Walking Tour is hosted by Metro DC DSA and sponsored by MD 2 Palestine. The tour will meet at Dupont Circle at 1:00 p.m., and the final stop will be at 3:30 p.m at the Car Barn in Georgetown, followed by a happy hour afterward.
