Rev. Mark Hughes hosts an episode of The Juxtaposition about issues affecting Black Folks and Black Folks effecting change.

From Mark Hughes:

Some of the most consequential and existential policies in Black communities are those on policing. The Trump administration recently released an executive order that increases the provision of military officers and national security assets who may serve alongside state and local law enforcement officials; dispatches Homeland Security Task Forces to work in states and municipalities to prevent crime; reinforces the Trump Administration’s position that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives are civil-rights violations and orders the Attorney General to prosecute state and local officials who engage in DEI practices that “endanger citizens” and more. Why is this happening and what are the implications? What if anything can we do to keep our Black communities safe from over-policing and harming our people and communities?
