Black Agenda Radio · Black Lives Matter Organizer Under Police Surveillance

April Goggans is an organizer with Black Lives Matter DC. She filed a Freedom of Information act request with the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington in order to determine the extent of surveillance on her activities. After 5 years of seeking information, and denials that such information existed, she appealed a judge’s dismissal and has been granted a hearing. She is joined by Max Rameau, an organizer with Pan African Community Action.
