A co-founder of Black Lives Matter this week explained how the next president can tackle issues of racism and policing, and we share what else we’re reading in the waning weeks of the 2016 election.

Opal Tometi: Next President Must “Apply the Lens of Race to All Core Issues”

Black Lives Matter Co-Founder Opal Tometi penned an op-ed published in Time calling on the country’s next president to consider race as an aspect of all issues.

“Racism should be a core concern for all Americans, in every area of our lives,” wrote Tometi, who serves as the executive director of the Black Alliance for Just Immigration. “Implicit bias—our subconscious associations of race—­permeates everything that we do. And we must pursue systemic accountability to fix it.”

“The next President must apply the lens of race to all core issues, including health care, immigration, jobs, criminal justice, climate change and education, and create a Cabinet-­level position dedicated to racial equality and justice,” she continued.

Tometi called for the next president to take on issues of racism and policing, “which has left too many black people devalued, disregarded and disposable,” noting four core steps to help address the issue.

Pointing to discretionary funds the president can allocate, Tometi said police departments that have demonstrated problems with racism should be defunded. “Police cannot be allowed to continue aggressive, violent and often unconstitutional policing with impunity,” she said.

Tometi said the next president should address police departments’ use of military-grade equipment and investigate prosecutors who “too often refuse to hold accountable the police officers who are involved in the killing, harassing and abuse of … black and brown communities.”

The racial justice leader pitched the formation, through an executive order issued by the president, of a “reparatory-­justice commission” to address the history of discrimination Black people in the United States continue to face. This group would “examine the lasting legacy of slavery, Jim Crow and mass criminalization.”

During the Iowa Brown and Black Presidential Forum in January, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton was asked how her administration would prove that Black lives do matter.

Clinton replied that reforms to criminal justice, policing, and incarceration have “to be the highest priority” of the president, and outlined aspects of her platform that would address these issues.

Clinton did not directly answer when asked about reparations. “I think we should start studying what investments we need to make in communities to help individuals and families and communities move forward,” she said.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has said that the phrase “Black lives matter” is very divisive and that the movement is “dividing America.” Trump has seemingly not taken a public stance on reparations.
