Live is ordinarily helmed by the unbelievably talented managing editor @SaraYousuf16 — but while she's out @LisaGluck and @jaywillis have been doing an amazing job of putting out Live's nonstop schedule of essential shows. (This week is going to be so great!)

COVID-19 is disproportionately killing Black, brown, and Indigenous people. The vaccine rollout program is disproportionately favoring white people.
This is structural racism in action.
Reunification and restitution must be carried out immediately and transparently--we owe it to these families. (2/2)

Happy to see the new administration taking this first step forward. That said, every day a child is separated from a parent contributes to long-lasting trauma, so our work is far from done. (1/2)
