Our imperfect union is in turmoil, choking on the deadly long-term effects of systemic racism. So many can’t breathe through the toxins literally and figuratively polluting a culture built on racism and inequality a system that relies on the sacrifices of the marginalized many for the comfort of a powerful few.
This systemic bigotry guarantees that every crisis hits vulnerable communities much harder than others. Pandemics. Violence and brutality. Poisonous climates. As Eric Holthaus recently wrote, “Climate change is racist because the system that caused it is racist…. The urgency of climate change is also an urgency for racial justice.” As our democracy finds its way through this fragile time, we must focus on these intertwined issues. And the scale of our collective response must reflect the enormous scale of the problems before us.

ST. TAMMANY PARISH, La. The St. Tammany Parish Coroner says he is concerned that Christmas gatherings will cause another spike in COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths.
Dr. Charles Preston said the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine to healthcare workers in the state is promising but is not a reason for residents to drop their guard against the deadly virus.
