As President Trump counters calls to defund the police and end
systemic racism with demands for “law and order,” many Americans
feel the country is deeply divided and broken. Community leader and
lawyer Zach Norris attributes this division, as well as issues like
mass incarceration and economic inequality, to a “framework of
fear” that has grown between fellow Americans. In his new book,
“‘We Keep Us Safe: Building Secure, Just, and Inclusive
Communities,” Norris outlines a path for America to move from an
“us vs. them” mentality towards a “culture of care”. Zach Norris
joins Forum to discuss the book, address the systemic issues
raising his concern, and to outline his vision for public safety.
