Redwood Curtain CopWatch, based in the north coast of California, is part of a larger movement of self organized CopWatch groups throughout the US. Our local efforts seek to intervene in the drastic rise of the presence, militarization, and violence of the police, and build support networks based on self-determination, caring, and concrete needs.

Wise Words from West Denver CopWatch
Submitted by copwatch on Sun, 01/24/2010 - 12:10pmfrom their website: http://westdenvercopwatch.wordpress.com/
....Police are consistently traumatizing and occupying our communities. Something as simple as a video camera, a pen and a pad of paper can significantly help deter the police from violating our community members’ rights. We collect footage that both holds the police accountable and informs the people of their abuse of power.
Actions Against Police Brutality
Submitted by copwatch on Sun, 04/05/2009 - 5:22pm
People all over the country, on October 22nd, will mobilize against
police brutality, repression and the criminalization of a generation.
This is the 13th year of this Ocotber 22nd Day of Action.
Behind the Redwood Curtain, we recognize and continue actions into October 23rd.
We remember Christopher Burgess, who was 16 years old when Eureka Police Department officer Terry Liles chased, shot and killed him on Ocotber 23, 2006.
