When we talk about race and justice, we’re talking about the ways that discrimination, policing, prosecutions, and incarceration practices impact Black communities. 

Our criminal justice system is shaped by biased policing and unfair judicial precedents, rooted in anti-Blackness and racial disparity. The emotional, mental, physical, and financial impact on our communities is a tangible experience for millions of Black people in the U.S. The cost of an unjust justice system is high.

• Black people are incarcerated at more than 5 times the rate of whites.
• 65 percent of Black adults have felt targeted because of their race. Similarly, approximately 35 percent of Latino and Asian adults have felt targeted because of race.
