Ann Zadeh: “Having equal access to services for all citizens” is critical, and it plays into “racial equity.”

Over her 10 years as Fort Worth’s mayor, Betsy Price grew her leadership position beyond its city charter-designated powers of voting as a member of city council and representing the city on all ceremonial occasions. Price spent long hours throughout her tenure supporting or leading initiatives like early reading, bike riding, and public health through Blue Zones.
Her seemingly boundless energy and optimism made her a crowd favorite even as her detractors believed she cared more about private business interests than social and economic justice or the plight of marginalized communities.

A groundswell of activists and leaders of grassroot groups is preparing a multifaceted and sustained effort for justice. They want to push local and state officials to set a trial for Aaron Dean. The former Fort Worth police officer shot and killed Atatiana Jefferson through her back window in late 2019 after Jefferson’s neighbor called a non-emergency line to report an open door at the home that Jefferson shared with her mother.
Dean remains free on bail, and Judge David Hagerman, whose docket is slated to handle the trial, has tentatively but not officially set August as the trial date. Jefferson’s sister, Amber Carr, said the local criminal justice system cares nothing for the suffering caused by Dean and seemingly endless legal delays.
