Which Lives Matter? Participation in the Wake of Officer-Involved Killings

Abstract: This presentation will discuss several aspects of political mobilization in response to officer-involved killings, such as changes to political interest, voting, and protesting in the wake of deaths.  I will also present data on the factors that determine which deaths provoke a political response.
