This article discusses COC’s solutions for systems change to stop police violence from undoing policies that incentivize brutality to creating a database that tracks use of force by officers.

Rashad is quoted in this NY Times article on how, for Democrats, success means not just opposing Trump but building a ticket and platform progressives can get excited about. “Democrats can’t simply rely on people’s hate for Trump for being the aspirational thing that turns people out.

Rashad is quoted in this article on Twitter’s new speech policy and where it falls short. “Dehumanization is a great start, but if dehumanization starts and stops at religious categories alone, that does not encapsulate all the ways people have been dehumanized.”
