Contact Mayor Koch and ask that he declare racism a public health crisis. Boston's mayor just recently did this. This acknowledges that structural and interpersonal racism is worthy of assessment, treatment, and financial investment in order to eradicate its negative health impacts.
Contact our city officials and ask that a community board - independent of the police - be developed. This board will need subpoena power to investigate allegations of law enforcement wrongdoing. Reliance on police departments to do their own investigations is often a barrier to addressing misconduct.
