The Problem we are seeking to address.

A sample of socio-economic disparities for people of color compared to white Americans. People of color are four to fifteen percent more likely to be victims of crime, harrasement by police, and arrested compared to their white counterparts with the same level of offenses.

Black Americans were 9.3 times as likely as whites to be homicide victims in 2020.

American Indians were 4.3 times as likely, and Latinxs were 1.9 times as likely, based on age-adjusted figures. Since homicide is generally an intra-racial crime, these figures correspond to higher rates of homicide offending among these communities of color, which is attributable to spatially-concentrated urban poverty resulting from longstanding and ongoing segregation, discrimination, and disinvestment.

Police officers’ reliance on millions of minor traffic stops annually

They do this as a pretext to investigate drivers for criminal activity that disproportionately impacts Black and Latinx drivers. Among those they pull over, police are more likely to search Black (6.2%) and Latinx drivers (9.2%) than whites (3.6%). But police are often less likely to find drugs or weapons among the Black and Latinx drivers that they search, compared to whites.

Black and white Americans use illicit drugs at roughly similar rates.

But, one in four people arrested for drug law violations are Black, although Black people make up 14% of the U.S. population.

Black children in the United States experience disproportionate involvement in the child welfare system.

With higher rates of investigation, removal from their parents, and termination of parental rights compared to white children. Black children in foster care are moved more frequently, receive fewer appropriate services, and are less likely to be reunited with their families compared to white children.
