After South Bend police murdered Eric Logan, I led my local Our
Revolution and Black Lives Matter groups in demanding concrete
action -- a citizens review board, more implicit bias testing and
training for officers, disciplinary action for officers who don't
turn on their body cameras.
Now, with uprisings sweeping the country in the wake of George
Floyd and Breonna Taylor's murders at the hands of racist police
officers, it's clear that systemic racism in law enforcement is
an urgent national problem that our leaders have a moral
obligation to do everything in their power to fix.
Across America, Our Revolution groups are mobilizing NOW to
demand change at the city, county and state levels -- We want to
hear directly from you about the top priorities we should pursue
to dismantle systemic racism in our policing. Click here to take

In the wake of all the senseless death, it's heartbreaking that
schools and social services are under-resourced in Black
communities while police have access to high-tech military
equipment and ever-increasing budgets.
That's why I believe it's necessary to defund part of policing
budgets and redistribute it to create programs and services like
child care and more social workers.
This means prioritizing funding for schools and public health
above policing in Black communities the same way that we do for
non-Black communities.
But that's not all. We also must end qualified immunity -- which
shields police officers from accountability for their racist
actions -- and reform training and policing practices so that
officers are equipped to do their jobs without striking terror
into the heart of Black communities.
All of these changes are necessary, and as Our Revolution groups
ramp up our organizing, we want your input on what you think are
the most important steps to challenge systemic racism in
policing.
