In this livestream, NCR's Olga Segura hosts a conversation with Dwayne David Paul of the Collaborative Center for Justice, and Michael Vazquez of the Human Rights Campaign, about the advice they'd offer to President Joe Biden.
Background reading:
- The community policing model, recycled by politicians like Biden for decades, promotes a dangerous vision of community that further marginalizes already vulnerable and overpoliced communities, Paul wrote in our Building a Common Future series.
- Vazquez co-wrote his commentary with Alphonso David, president of the Human Rights Campaign: "The majority of U.S. Catholics, including President-elect Joe Biden, understands that supporting pro-LGBTQ policies is in direct alignment with Catholic teaching on he common good."
- Click here to read the entire series, in which Catholic politicians, activists and scholars to offer advice to Biden in a series that takes its title from Pope Francis' encyclical, Fratelli Tutti: "Building a Common Future."
