Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss a report called “Criminalizing Blackness: An analysis of the impacts of the 1994 Crime Bill and 1996 Immigration Bill on Black people and Policy Recommendations to Address the Harms Caused” produced by the Movement for Black Lives alongside UndocuBlack, the Black Alliance for Just Immigration, and Law for Black Lives. This report explores how these laws have impacted the criminal punishment and immigration systems in this country, and what we can do to confront and dismantle their harms in our continued work for social justice and collective liberation.
