In light of the murder of Tyre Nichols we must push back against the reductive notion that diverse police forces = justice or transformation

Police, regardless of their race, will never be the solution to the deep rooted brutal violence of our carceral systems 👇

[RAD_Institute @institute_rad]

Tyre Nichols should be alive today. We grieve and honor Tyre as we denounce this brutal murder. We will continue fighting to dismantle the legacy of white supremacy and win true justice and safety for all.

TODAY the White House releases tenant protections policy, following a lengthy process, incl. engagement with #HomesGuarantee tenant leaders. While providing some good organizing hooks, the announcement falls short of issuing directives to regulate rent.
