While covering the connection between activism and politics, I spoke with @dannyxvmalone whose grandfather, Bishop Cecil A. Malone, lives on through his compassion and commitment for Ithaca.
Malone believes that although the proposals will increase the divide between the community and the IPD, they will expose corrupt officers. Malone said, "the cops used to have some community engagement, but now they're like a disconnected antagonist. It's sad to see the change."
Great timing! I'm covering the importance of civic engagement following a summer of protests against police brutality and racial injustice. @dannyxvmalone , who grew up in Ithaca, is glad to see @SvanteMyrick taking a more radical approach in reimagining public safety. (1/2)

Trump won't condemn white militias. Biden won't condemn the police. Both are instruments of settler-colonialism, white supremacy, hetero-patriarchy and capitalism. We need an alternative, not just a reset of the matrix. #BuildAndFight#GeneralStrike
