GLIDE Foundation (GLIDE), a nationally recognized center for social justice, is pleased to announce the recent appointments of Tracy Layney, Allison L. Magee, Mark Ryle, and Virginia Walker to its Board of Directors. The four new members will help GLIDE in the implementation of its bold, large-scale strategic plan to deliver solutions to complex problems addressing both the symptoms and root causes of poverty and homelessness and to help more people off the streets, stabilize their lives, and thrive for good.
As GLIDE joins the nation in monthlong celebrations of Black culture and community, we are intentional in recognizing the organizing, the familial, creative, and spiritual work of black leadership that is leading the next generation of GLIDE, San Francisco, and the United States.
The indignity of living in fear of police interaction is why for the past 18 months, working as a member of the Coalition to End Biased Stops, the GLIDE Foundation has been at the forefront of advocating that the San Francisco Police Commission curtail racially biased, low-level traffic stops, known as pretext stops.
Many of us know the names: Sandra Bland, Daunte Wright, Philando Castile, Walter Scott, Sam DuBose. They are just a few of the hundreds of Americans across the country who have been killed by police during a traffic stop. In many of these cases, police had stopped the victim using a practice called “pretext stops” — pulling someone over for a minor traffic or equipment violation and then using that stop to conduct an unrelated speculative criminal investigation, not for the purpose of enforcing the traffic code.
GLIDE is launching three programs to bring hope and healing to Black and African American residents of San Francisco who have experienced intergenerational violence due to systemic racism.
