In May 2020, the death of George Floyd became a symbol of police brutality and triggered thousands of protests across the country and throughout the world. In Massachusetts, these events galvanized community action and helped accelerate statewide police reform and conversations on reimagining public safety. Since then, local leaders have worked to sustain that momentum by organizing rallies, advancing policy, and forging new relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve. Today, local civic leaders and a police officer together consider the impact of a recent community rally and a police pledge, in their shared support for peace and justice. With: - Ron Bell, civic engagement and voting rights organizer, founder of Dunk the Vote; - Karen Groce Horan, co-founder of Courageous Conversations Towards Racial Justice, Milton-Mattapan; - Sergeant David Hernandez, co-founder and Chair of the Latino Law Enforcement Group of Boston (LLEGO Boston).
