"Black People Under Attack - What's the Policy Change?" is a convening of policymakers, stakeholders and experts leading a solutions-based discussion on what communities must do and can do to effectively respond to and prevent the reocurrence of tragedies like the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery or the constant criminal use of 9-1-1 against Black individuals for simply existing in public spaces. Recent events in Minneapolis also put on full display a breakdown in governance and civic society when law enforcement bad actors kill Black men in broad daylight. But, the ensuing social unrest also shows the total lack of a smart, strategic community response plan that leverages political, policy and community-based assets in marginalized communities. What is the response playbook for these types of situations? Who are the stakeholders and leaders? What forms of legislation can be crafted to prevent these tragedies from happening again? And how do we keep both interactions between people and police safe while also ensuring safe neighborhoods, stability and quality of life is maintained?
Organized by The Council of State Governments Eastern Regional Conference, Council on Communities of Color and partnered with the B|E Note.
