I’ve been talking a lot about the need to Center Black people in the makings of our economy, the legal system, social safety net & notions of safety. Why? Because all of these systems actively harm Black people in their current form. It has to stop. A thread...

When we Center Blackness in our conversations about safety & justice, police becomes a non starter. Abolish it & come up with something designed to uplift & protect Black people. Policing as we know it cannot be fixed. #GeorgeFloyd #ChristianCooper #AmaudArbery

When we Center Blackness in our legal system (which starts with the police), fines & fees, broken window policing etc become a non starter. These policies were built on anti-blackness and can it be reformed.

Argh. Typo - CAN’T be reformed.
