Since the task force was created, more than 20 โ€œNeighborhood Testing sitesโ€ have been established in previously-underserved communities throughout Michigan, the state reports. Moving forward, the group intends to close the โ€œdigital divideโ€ by ensuring minority communities have better access to internet, telehealth services and virtual learning. โ€œItโ€™s clear that the work of this task force ... has made significant progress in protecting families, frontline workers, and small businesses in communities of color,โ€ said Celeste Sanchez Lloyd, task force member and community program manager for Strong Beginnings at Spectrum Health.

DETROIT One concept has been often mentioned amid our countrys current crisis, but it is not as often understood: systemic racism. Systemic racism shows up across systems in our community such as education, the criminal justice system, employment and housing. When it comes to housing discrimination, there is no need to look further than what happened right here in Detroit. The Black man was forced to find a house in a Black neighborhood or in a newly-developed housing project, such as Brewster Douglass. By the 1960s, at the height of the Civil Rights Movement, Black people were fed up with housing discrimination in addition to systemic police abuse, job discrimination and other forms of bias.

'Defund the police: What it means and why activists are calling for it

Read full article: 'Defund the police: What it means and why activists are calling for it

Defunding the police means what it says: Divesting funds from police departments and then reallocating them to social services and other community resources where they are needed. According to data compiled by the Urban Institute , state and local governments spend $115 billion on policing in 2017 in the U.S. Though advocates for the movement share a similar goal, the end results of defunding the police looks different to many. Researchers and advocates have suggested reinvesting the funds into housing, education, mental health, homelessness, domestic violence and similar services and programs. In his interview with CBC News, Vitale points out some potential flaws behind the move to reform police instead of defund them.
