I had to persist. Before me, Keith Porter’s cousin, Jsané, had movingly spoken about the need for accountability for his murder at the hands of LAPD. I kept speaking for the people of Los Angeles, and the room stood with me. (2/3)

The reduction of crime in Baltimore is one of the most inspiring stories of the last few years, and it’s largely thanks to nonviolent, neighborhood level community intervention. We’re seeing similar programs be extremely effective in neighborhoods in Chicago too.
Baltimore's crime rate has dropped dramatically under Moore. The homicide rate last year was a 50-year low.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
