In the summer of 2020, following the protests that ensued after George Floyd was murdered by Minneapolis police, at the height of the Black Lives Matter movement, the Party For Socialism and Liberation of Tri-Cities Washington, alongside other local revolutionary organizations, began implementing regular community meetings within area’s most underprivileged communities and in the neighborhoods most negatively affected by U.S. capitalism and its oppressive systems.
During those first few meetings, community members and activists from all over the Tri-Cities were able to come together to discuss local issues and the area’s most pressing needs. One of the most crucial topics of course was the racist and violent policing of Black and Brown communities both nationally and locally.
