“The first thing we should be concerned about the BLM movement should be the issues that the Black Lives Matter movement is bringing forward. There's no fundamental platform being brought by activists in Oakland, Baltimore, or New Jersey. The main issues that you see, the commonality between activists all around the country, are trying to deal with the challenges in the criminal justice system, something that is very much central to my work. So my hope is that people stay focused on the urgency to create justice here at home.” PeopleShouldTryingFirstsCountryMatterHomeBlackChallengesJusticeDealsIssuesMovementConcernedFundamentalsFocusedCriminalsActivistPlatformsJerseyBlack Lives MatterUrgencyStay FocusedJustice SystemNew JerseyCriminal JusticeBaltimoreCriminal Justice SystemCommonalityOaklandBlack Lives Author:Cory Booker

“Labor has been severely undermined, but that's happened before. In the 1920s, the labor movement was virtually crushed, in large part by Wilson's Red Scare, but it dramatically revived in the 1930s.
