Mandatory Undoing Racism Workshops for Public Officials

Incorporate nationwide Undoing Racism workshops for all in current public service roles as well as those applying for future roles. This covers from the President to the Police Department, from Congress to the classroom teachers.

Why is this important?

Too much evidence of the lethal ramifications of racism has cost too many lives. Protests over deaths as a result of police brutality are increasing because not enough has been done to PREVENT the loss of more innocent black lives. The justice system has proven to remain on the side of injustice, seen in the paid administrative leave of officers who kill innocent black citizens while the families who have lost loved ones work harder to pay for funeral expenses for their killed family members. This is permitted throughout the country as we understand that police officers work in heightened tensions, and seek to preserve their lives as well. Let's bring value to Black Lives Matter and prove that they are included in "All Lives" through education and Undoing Racism workshops to expose all our citizens in public service to the vast disparities in privileges due to differences in skin tone.
