SCHR Public Policy Director Tiffany Roberts traveled to Geneva this week to address the United Nations Permanent Forum on People of African Descent: "Atlanta remains number one for racial income disparity in the United States. Georgia is number one for the number of people under correctional control. Our county sends more people to Georgia prisons than any other. If you are assaulted by a police officer, there is more than an 80% chance that the officer was Black. We are also the country’s most surveilled city. At SCHR, we commit to interrogating proposed policies, ensuring that they do not further entrench the state’s power to kidnap, kill and cage Black people. When we do this, we mitigate the harms of things like e-carceration ad racist algorithms which are wrongly held out as solutions. We also constantly ask ourselves whether we are centering people on the ground, who are closest to the trauma and therefore solutions. Comprehensive, cohesive and courageous responses must not further entrench the power of the state to kill us, by merely tinkering around the edges of structural violence." #PFPAD
At SCHR, we are dedicated to fighting against systems meant to harm. We know change is possible, but we need YOU to fight back. This #GivingTuesday, we invite you to help us raise $25,000 so we can build on our work for equality, dignity & justice.

Atlanta City Council October 17, 2022 "From this side of the podium, the voices that you hear are calling you to do more and to be more than beaurecrats. From this side of the podium, calls have come urging so-called leaders to actually lead. This side of the podium has poured wisdom and knowledge and experience hoping that something sticks. I am encouraged by knowing that from this side of the podium is where all change comes. Positive change is improbable whe you ignore this side of the podium." -Tiffany Roberts, SCHR Public Policy Director
