Together, they reflect on the deep historical roots of racialized policing, the global response that followed Floyd’s death, and the continued fight for police accountability and community safety.

Zayid shares insight into the spectacle of Floyd’s killing and its connection to centuries of dehumanization and violence against Black bodies, while Jamila speaks to her experience as a former prosecutor and the challenges of holding law enforcement accountable. It’s a timely, emotional, and urgent discussion that speaks directly to where we’ve been and where we need to go.
