Our guest Frank Reid will speak with us about helping families with home repair through Rebuilding Together

As high-profile episodes of violence have highlighted the issue of use of excessive force and mistreatment of people of color by police, what is the way forward for law enforcement and the communities they are duty bound to “serve and protect”? What have we learned from the tragedies of the past few years? What are the strategies and philosophies that will enable police to overcome patterns of behavior that place a wall between them and their communities they serve? Will they be able to reinvent how they interact with all people of color, especially black men? Maria Hinojosa, Moderator Sherrilyn Ifill DeRay Mckesson Roberto Villaseñor

We need to take the trillions being spent on regime change wars, the new Cold War & arms race, & reinvest those dollars in the needs of our communities--quality healthcare for all, protecting the environment, improving education, rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure, & more. https://t.co/nziORqkosO Source: https://twitter.com/TulsiGabbard/status/1125457275517161473 Uploader: Tulsi Gabbard 🌺

Our campaign is growing and unifying the American people around the core message of putting the interests of the people first — ending the new Cold War, arms race, and regime change wars, and redirect our resources to rebuilding our communities. #TULSI2020 https://t.co/jxTyS1xpHZ Source: https://twitter.com/TulsiGabbard/status/1179373338474504194 Uploader: Tulsi Gabbard 🌺

The Family to Family initiative has encouraged states to reconceptualize, redesign, and reconstruct their foster care systems. By 1996, the initiative was being implemented in five states, five Georgia counties, and Los Angeles County, California. The first objective of this initiative is to develop a network of family foster care that is more neighborhood-based, culturally sensitive, and located primarily in the communities where the children live. It calls for child welfare agencies to develop partnerships with the communities from which the children came. This report describes the ways in which communities have worked to build community partnerships and draws some lessons from their efforts as a guide to others. Three major strategies have been used to develop better working relationships with the community: (1) empowering the community to share child welfare work; (2) joint training for child welfare and community representatives; and (3) developing and maintaining a visible presence in the community, including working on the community's agenda. The most important element needed to develop working partnerships with the community is the commitment of child welfare agency leadership. Once discussions begin, leaders need strength and community support to change the ways their agencies do business. Thirteen appendixes are available on computer diskette from the Annie E. Casey Foundation. (Contains 1 17-item annotated bibliography.) (SLD)

Communities of color in Buncombe County are spearheading projects helping youth learn to read, creating healing environments for local neighborhoods, maintaining our local histories and legacies, and connecting each other to lifesaving resources with the help of Isaac Coleman Grants. Buncombe County’s Isaac Coleman Grants fund hundreds of thousands of dollars for projects that support social justice, equity, and service access for our county’s black and brown communities of color. These investments are part of a broader approach, which includes continuing partnerships with nonprofit and faith-based organizations, providing mini-grants to augment emerging and innovative community efforts, supporting small businesses, validating social determinants of health, and investing in education and the economy. Because of these grants, local organizations are getting the support they need to make meaningful, lasting impacts. “When we talk about the services that are offered [within our community], there is a wider gap with black and brown people,” says Michael Hayes, executive director for UMOJA Health, Wellness, and Justice Collaborative, and grant recipient. “Because of the Isaac Coleman Grants, we were able to start developing peer support specialists that we need to be in the community to do the work.” As a result, UMOJA can provide safe spaces to help our black and brown communities of color unpack trauma and seek and promote healing. UMOJA is just one of the current five grant recipients providing a wide array of support and/or services for communities in Buncombe County.

We should have a clear sense of what we can accomplish and what our limitations are in terms of foreign policy. We are not good at rebuilding - just look at our own communities. We need to get better and more realistic. https://t.co/xEJrHuT0Hm Source: https://twitter.com/AndrewYang/status/1133750015736909827 Uploader: Andrew Yang🧢🇺🇸

Is house flipping just a trend, or can it be a force for good? Lindsay welcomes back her father, real estate veteran Todd Barron, for a conversation about the art—and heart—of restoring homes. Todd shares his perspective on revitalizing properties not just for profit, but to give them new life and help ease the housing shortage.
