Dear Friend,
As I wrote yesterday, I am deeply troubled by the murder of
Mr. George Floyd, the video of which represents just one more painful
reminder of the legacy of racism, the danger to Black Americans posed
by out-of-control endemic police violence, and the failure of our
institutions to address inequality and injustice.
As such, tomorrow’s Coffee and a Column Zoom call will be
extended to an hour (2 p.m. to 3 p.m. EST), and will be dedicated to
how the Arab American community should address the problems of
institutionalized racism and the need for critical policing reforms,
as well as what we can do to support impacted communities.
Please RSVP here for the
call.
We will hear updates from New York, Detroit, Chicago, and Los
Angeles, and I will discuss the “Cleveland Study” I conducted in the
1990s. I will be joined by ADC President Samer Khalaf and AAI
Organizer and Co-Founder of Dream Defenders, Ahmad
Abuznaid.
I am looking forward to the conversation.
Jim Zogby
