In this week’s State of Criminal Justice we’ll cover the death of Lauren Smith-Fields, a racist law in Florida, and the shooting death of 8-year-old Fanta Bility. In our New Ground segment, we’ll discuss mental health responders becoming an alternative to police.
PushBlack exists because we saw we had to take matters into our own hands, especially when it comes to protecting our communities. As a nonprofit, we rely on small donations from subscribers like you. You make PushBlack happen with your contributions. Most people do 5 or 10 bucks a month, but everything makes a difference. Thanks for supporting the work.
