A Reflection on Systemic Change and Police Brutality from the Staff of IJPC – IJPC | Intercommunity Justice and Peace Center | Cincinnati Ohio

In the midst of repeated police brutality and in the wake of the murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and countless others, many leaders, especially those from the Black community, have been using their human ingenuity, their lived experiences, and personal insights to invent new ways of doing justice. They have radically transformed grief and righteous anger into forging new pathways for meeting basic human needs, protecting community safety, and ensuring peace and justice for all. Along with calls to create new systems of community safety have come calls to examine systems that aren’t working, most notably and most publicized has been the call to defund the police.

‘I saw similar scenes everywhere’ The photographer tells the story behind a remarkable snapshot from yesterday’s women’s march in Minsk — Meduza

They began to arrest women in the last couple days. Previously, they took almost only men, women had to really pick a fight [to get arrested]: as far as I know, there was an order not to touch them. But for a week and a half there has been an increase in the use of force. Yesterday they took everybody, because it was a women’s march and there were few men.

Coronavirus-infected Israel, on brink of anarchy

The government of Israel and the project manager it appointed to deal with the spread of the coronavirus, Dr. Ronni Gamzu, are unable to come up with a publicly credible, organized response. Public trust in the government’s coronavirus-related decisions, motivations and performance has plunged to record lows. More than 65% of Israelis give Netanyahu’s handling of the country’s health and economic crisis a failing grade. Moreover, that is not all. The government has lost almost all ability to issue publicly acceptable instructions and to translate them into action. The prevailing sense is one of a free-for-all, of every man and woman for himself or herself.

Half a million US kids diagnosed with Covid-19 – CNN

“These numbers are a chilling reminder of why we need to take this virus seriously,” American Academy of Pediatrics President Dr. Sally Goza said in a news release. “While much remains unknown about COVID-19, we do know that the spread among children reflects what is happening in the broader communities,” she added.
“A disproportionate number of cases are reported in Black and Hispanic children and in places where there is high poverty. We must work harder to address societal inequities that contribute to these disparities.”
