Police Violence Is a Systemic Problem That Requires Systemic Solutions - Rewire

Police Violence Is a Systemic Problem That Requires Systemic Solutions - Rewire: Police violence acts to destabilize, dismantle, and destroy families. As Dani McClain at The Nation, Katherine Cross at Rewire, and others have pointed out: Police violence against Black families is clearly a reproductive justice issue.

There can be no reproductive justice when Black women are denied the human right to see their children grow up.
