Grateful for a thoughtful afternoon yesterday at the 13th CEIR Conference.
I spoke about how public procurement & policy shape jobs, equity, & opportunity, & why public spending is not neutral. Encouraging dialogue & time in community with some of my favorite people.

There is video of the shooting of a woman by ICE in Minneapolis circulating that shows an ICE agent repeatedly shooting her at point blank range while she tries to drive off. There was no obvious threat to any ICE agent.
