    Resources on Racial Justice June 8, 2020 1 7 Anti-Racist Books Recommended by Educators and Activists from the New York Magazine https://nymag.com/strategist/article/anti-racist-reading- list.html?utm_source=insta&utm_medium=s1&utm_campaign=strategist By The Editors of NY Magazine With protests across the country calling for systemic change and justice for the killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and Tony McDade, many people are asking themselves what they can do to help. Joining protests and making donations to organizations like Know Your Rights Camp, the ACLU, or the National Bail Fund Network are good steps, but many anti-racist educators and activists say that to truly be anti-racist, we have to commit ourselves to the ongoing fight against racism — in the world and in us. To help you get started, we’ve compiled the following list of books suggested by anti-racist organizations, educators, and black- owned bookstores (which we recommend visiting online to purchase these books). They cover the history of racism in America, identifying white privilege, and looking at the intersection of racism and misogyny. We’ve also collected a list of recommended books to help parents raise anti-racist children here. Hard Conversations: Intro to Racism - Patti Digh's Strong Offer This is a month-long online seminar program hosted by authors, speakers, and social justice activists Patti Digh and Victor Lee Lewis, who was featured in the documentary film, The Color of Fear, with help from a community of people who want and are willing to help us understand the reality of racism by telling their stories and sharing their resources.

    PUBLIC COMMENTS HB 19 HOUSE COMMITTEE ON JUDICIARY & CIVIL JURISPRUDENCE Hearing Date: March 9, 2021 10:00 AM Michael Gerke SELF Missouri City, TX This bill rewards bad actors. That is, companies who fail to train and properly hire drivers get to be dismissed from a case against them. This is a disincentive to do things the right way. And those companies who do hiring, training and safety the proper way, are placed at an economic disadvantage to those who do not. Bad bill. Texans lose on this one. Jason Boorstein Self Dallas, TX I became very concerned after reading the text of this bill. The bill aims to hurt individuals driving on our roads. I am concerned about commercial vehicles from Texas, other States and Countries getting a pass in Texas if they hurt or kill someone. I am concerned that if this bill passes, companies have less incentive to investigate bad drivers, self police their company, train and discipline. Please consider tabling this bill so that we can investigate the real ramification to Texans. Thank you. Guy Choate Webb, Stokes & Sparks, LLP San Angelo, TX I speak in opposition to this Bill. Texas highways would be made less safe by protecting the companies that put profits over safety as they put unsafe trucks and drivers on the road. Large trucks are disproportionately responsible for carnage on Texas highways. Trucking companies need more scrutiny, not less. Trucks do not have to be dangerous and truck drivers do not have to cause crashes. Good companies do not have the type of crashes that routinely plague Texas highways.

FOREWORD On January 6, 2021, as this zine was being designed, democratic organizers in Georgia woke up celebrating their hard won victory of winning two house seats in the US Senate. Later that afternoon, white supremacists and others, disrupted the U.S. Congress’s confirmation of the Electoral College, claiming they were protesters. This led the collaborative editing and production team to slow down our zine distribution process. Since the summer of 2020, our work had already been deeply informed by our experiences related to the pandemic, police violence, and other factors. Amidst the violence in Washington, D.C. we found ourselves reflecting anew on how the terms uprising and protest get used and can circulate. One of the main ideas of this zine is that there is no firm definition of uprising, and yet, we can also say that what happened at the Capitol on January 6 was not the actions of a protest led by the dispossessed, the othered, and the marginalized.

Access Now is a non-governmental organization that works to defend the digital rights of users at risk around the world through policy, advocacy, and technology support, grants, and convenings like RightsCon. The USC IHRC engages in advocacy projects to confront some of the most pressing human rights concerns in the U.S. and globally. I. Introduction Over the past few months, the United States Government has responded to peaceful demonstrations by deploying militarized police forces into communities without State or local official invitation or authorization. These forces have arbitrarily detained protesters in unarmed vehicles and generally suppressed the freedoms of expression, press, and assembly in major U.S. cities. Such conduct by federal officials implicate major human rights obligations, including the rights of: freedom of expression, press, and access to information;1 1 See International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, Article 1; Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 19; International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, Article 19.

    The Role of Police in a Racist-Capitalist Society

    The Role of Police in a Racist-Capitalist Society. Defunding and Dismantling the US Police Being Fiercely Debated Amid the national unrest law-enforcement has been documented committing further acts of misconduct and brutality By Abayomi Azikiwe Region: USA Global Research, June 11, 2020 Theme: Intelligence, Law and Justice, Police State & Civil Rights, Poverty & Social Inequality Since the videotaped violent murder of African AmericanGeorge Floyd in Minneapolis on May 25, there has been an upsurge in antiracist and anti-police brutality demonstrations and rebellions spanning across the United States. When Darnella Frazier, the 17-year-old woman who captured this horrendous police action on her cellphone and later posting it to social media, the debate around the role and status of police forces came to fore. Floyd’s killing represented a long legacy of systematic racist violence directed towards African Americans by law-enforcement agents and vigilantes. These deaths at the hands of police, racist organizations and individuals are often allowed to take place without any legal consequences for the perpetrators. Other high profile cases involving the shooting deaths Ahmaudof Arbery in Georgia and Breonna Taylor in Louisville, served to heighten the level of social tensions leading to a myriad of expressions which oppose the historic treatment of African Americans. One issue which has created much concern from the perspective of the U.S. ruling class is the idea of defunding or even dismantling the police. Slogans raised by demonstrators over the period since May 25 labelling police as inherently racist and brutal, are being reflected in the debates taking place throughout the corporate media.

    DEATH OF GEORGE FLOYD ESSAYS By Julius Wachtel As originally published in POLICEISSUES.ORG (c) 2007-2020 Julius Wachtel Permission to reproduce in part or in whole granted for non-commercial purposes only POLICEISSUES.ORG Posted 6/3/20 PUNISHMENT ISN’T A COP’S JOB An officer metes out his brand of discipline. He then faces society’s version. For Police Issues by Julius (Jay) Wachtel. It’s impossible to not be repulsed by the horrific scene. A bystander video depicts Derek Chauvin, a veteran Minneapolis cop, relentlessly pressing his knee against George Floyd’s neck. Even as Mr. Floyd protests he can’t breathe and bystanders implore the now ex-cop to stop, Chauvin doesn’t relent. Public fury propelled an unusually swift official reaction. It took only one day for Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey to fire Chauvin and the three colleagues who participated in Mr. Floyd’s arrest. Only two days after that state prosecutors charged Chauvin with third-degree murder (“perpetrating evidently dangerous act and evincing depraved mind”) and second-degree manslaughter (“culpable negligence creating unreasonable risk”). As of yet, charges have not been filed against his colleagues. “Depraved” is an obviously challenging standard. How “depraved” were Chauvin’s actions? Here’s how Mayor Frey described the episode: For five minutes we watched as a white officer pressed his knee into the neck of a black man who was helpless. For five whole minutes. This was not a matter of a split-second poor decision. (Emphasis ours.) While the mayor intimated that Chauvin acted maliciously, he didn’t say what it was a “matter” of.

Previously, the Government’s first ‘Digital Strike’ led to “havocs” among the TikTokers when the TikTok application was banned. Meanwhile, the GDP of India has seen its biggest fall since 1996. But that’s barely a topic discussed in the ‘burning debates’. On Wednesday, The Ministry of Information and Technology bans more Chinese apps including popular PUBG Mobile in the country. Days after this ‘Digital Strike’, the next big move that comes in is the announce- ment of “FAU-G”, by Bollywood star Akshay Kumar. The most probable replacement of PUBG Mobile will be FAU-G, an Indian-made game, which is expected to be 99.9% similar to the banned PUBG Mobile. Ranging from the national level to the local, PUBG is now the “burning issue”. Knocked out by the Pandemic, seems like nobody looks to ‘revive’ the GDP. However, that’s the reality so far.
