Mapping Police Violence | Samuel Sinyangwe | TEDxBrookings

Police violence predominantly affects people of color. In this powerful, data-driven talk, Sam Sinyangwe shares the evidence from police departments around the United States, and the statistics on how ten use-of-force policies lower rates of violence. By focusing on the facts of police violence, Sinyangwe points to solutions and a frame of reference for tackling other politically sensitive issues. Samuel Sinyangwe (@samswey), 26, is a policy analyst and data scientist who works with communities of color to fight systemic racism through cutting-edge policies and strategies.

Samuel co-founded Mapping Police Violence to support activists across the country to collect and use data to fight police violence and co-founded Campaign Zero to advocate for local, state, and federal policy solutions to end police violence. Samuel has been featured on MSNBC, CNN, BBC, LA Times, the Forbes 30 under 30 and The Root 100.

Previously, Samuel worked at PolicyLink to support a national network of 61 Promise Neighborhoods communities to build cradle-to-career systems of support for low-income families. He grew up in Orlando, FL and graduated from Stanford University in 2012, where he studied how race and racism impact the U.S. political system.

Samuel’s talk is entitled: Ending Police Violence in the United States. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
