End All No Knocks: An activist approach to developing and deploying research-driven campaigns

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract/Description

This panel provides an in-depth exploration of Campaign Zero's (CZ) evolution and efforts against no-knock warrants through four scholarly papers. From Fred Hampton to Breonna Taylor, these papers illustrate the progression of CZ's advocacy. The first paper traces the historical roots and development of the End All No Knocks campaign. The second offers a qualitative analysis of statutes aiming to abolish no-knock warrants, informed by CZ's comprehensive legislative reviews. The third paper outlines CZ's strategic methodologies in campaigning against no-knock warrants, emphasizing techniques for maintaining uniformity and monitoring campaign efficacy. The final paper addresses the broader impact of no-knock warrants on police violence and contemplates future trends in their application.
