READ MORE Police Reform is a Small Step, But We Need a Big Leap Policy Analysis June 17, 2020 In the time since the Minneapolis protests, the popular support has coalesced behind calls for substantial changes to policing and community safety. For these groups, police abolition means securing communities through community-led efforts, reinvestments in public health and education, and more just housing programs. There are also the proposals from city governments and councils dealing with public pressure, which will likely only result in a reconstruction of existing police forces. On Monday, Democrats in the House and Senate introduced their vision of what such reforms would look like: the Justice in Policing Act, a measure which is a compromise with the abolitionist proposals coming from social justice groups. The GOP has yet to submit a police reform proposal, though they have tasked the lone black Republican in the Senate, Sen. Tim Scott, with leading their efforts to do so. Election Day is fast approaching, and along with the coming of November 3rd will come a judgment on which public representatives were able to listen and heed the calls from the American majority.

Law enforcement must also be trained to uphold the values of human security: care for the social fabric they are supposed to protect, interdependence between the city and communal stakeholders, and freedom from fear of injustice. READ MORE Mark Kevin Lloyd is Unfit to Serve in State Department Updates June 1, 2020 Lloyd’s recent history of anti-Muslim bigotry was revealed in a Washington Post article, documenting his use of slurs and harmful tropes about the Islam and the Muslim community. Lloyd’s past statements demonstrate his inability to serve the State Department in his potential capacity as an adviser on religious freedom.

Ed Bacon Rector Emeritus, All Saints Church, Pasadena The best way to ensure equality and justice is to build bridges in the community and that is exactly what all you are doing. Congresswoman Judy Chu If MPAC existed in 1942, Japanese Americans would have never gone to [internment] camps. And this is why, as a Congressman, I'm here for this community too. Fmr. Congressman Mike Honda
