Business Description
Berkeley Copwatch is based on the idea that WATCHING the police is a crucial first step in the process of organizing.
Berkeley Copwatch is the original Copwatch group. We began in 1990 on Telegraph Ave. as an all-volunteer organization dedicated to monitoring police actions and non-violently asserting our rights. Since that time, many Copwatch-type organizations have sprung up across the nation, in various forms. Berkeley Copwatch is based on the idea that WATCHING the police is a crucial first step in the process of organizing. We do not attempt to interfere in police activity or to resist police misconduct physically. It is our hope that, one day, mass outrage at police and government violence will increase to a point where fundamental change in the nature of policing becomes inevitable.
We have meetings that are open to the public every Monday at 8pm, everyone is welcome. We also teach a class on the history of the police for UC Berkeley that is free and open to the public, see our website for course times and information.
