March 31, 2025 From Enforcers to Guardians: A Public Health Primer on Ending Police Violence
"From Enforcers to Guardians: A Public Health Primer on Ending Police Violence" by Hannah L. F. Cooper and Mindy Thompson Fullilove examines police violence in the United States as a critical public health issue, highlighting its disproportionate impact on marginalized communities. The authors trace the historical roots of distorted policing, connecting it to societal factors like marginalization and economic shifts. They argue that excessive force and brutality undermine public health and societal unity, advocating for a shift towards a "guardianship" model of policing. The book analyzes various forms of police violence, including physical, sexual, psychological, and neglectful, often documented through Department of Justice investigations. Ultimately, it proposes a multi-level "magic strategy" involving systemic changes, community engagement, and addressing the underlying social determinants of health to achieve lasting reform and true public safety for all.

March 29, 2025 Freedom Reclaimed: Rediscovering the American Vision
This Book, "Freedom Reclaimed- Rediscovering the American Vision," examines the concept of individual liberty in the United States, distinguishing it from a narrow free-market interpretation. The author argues for a "genuine" freedom that recognizes mutual obligations among individuals and necessitates a more active, yet restrained, government to ensure adequate economic opportunity and protection from wrongful harm. The text explores how current policies often fall short of this vision, analyzing issues like economic inequality, healthcare, education, and political standing, and proposes reforms rooted in a deeper understanding of American ideals. The author contends that reclaiming this broader vision of freedom is essential for national unity and the fulfillment of America's promise.
