A #JustTransition must include communities that now make their living from #OilAndGas.

"Most #OilAndGas communities do not need economic stimulus policies that provide immediate relief. What they need are holistic economic development strategies that can cultivate new industries – building on their existing strengths – that will enable them to prosper into the future."

Luckily, most Black men haven't been shot by police. But this being dragged out of a car, or put in cuffs, or threatened with death or violence or trumped up jail charges? That stuff happens to millions of Black drivers.

"Tyreek should have just been polite! I'm always polite! As a Black man we always have to be polite!" That's how I think. And it is a broken way of thinking.

And it's not really being polite, when there is the explicit threat of violence if you don't perform said politeness.
