Djibril Toure

Djibril Toure is a member of the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement (MXGM) and co-coordinator of the Peoples' Self Defense Campaign, which seeks to address issues of police misconduct/abuse in central Brooklyn. Djibril became active around this issue after directly experiencing and witnessing the NYPD's selective Stop & Frisk policy firsthand. His work has included conducting know your rights workshops/activities for the larger New York City community as well as organizing Copwatch, which is a volunteer based program aimed at observing and reducing illegal stop and frisk activity. In addition, MXGM has provided individual assistance in filing complaints/lawsuits and offered legal clinics to the community at large. As a member of Communities United for Police Reform, Djibril has helped co-coordinate a working group to develop community leadership.
