      If you are not local to Las Vegas you can experience the exhibit virtually.

      Last summer the Forced Trajectory Project worked with Families United 4 Justice Las Vegas to generate forty demands for the Nevada State legislature in regards to transforming policing in the interest of public safety, truth, and justice. You can download a list of the demands by clicking on the button above.

      This video was produced to highlight families impacted by police violence, especially those in Las Vegas. It was first aired for the Mass Liberation Project's Power of Justice 2: Balancing the Bench event on October 20, 2020, and then aired again for October 22nd Coalition's 25th National Day of Protest to Stop Police Brutality, Repression and the Criminalization of a Generation, on October 22, 2020.
