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 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. All are welcome to join! We will do our best to connect people to rides from around Dupont Circle and accommodate those not able to walk the full route. Make sure you sign-up for rainy day updates, in case you're running late and need to find the tour, and to indicate your ability to give rides and/or your need for a ride or accommodations.
