#SegregatedAmerica: The #inequality in the #bondmarket perpetuates a cycle of #debt and #disinvestment in #Black communities, but it also has huge implications for #environmentaljustice and #climateresilience.

#afluenza and the #builtenvironment: find that these #indicators to characterize #patterns of #builtstructures are about equally important for predicting #energydemand and #CO2 #emissions as #GDP and other conventional factors.

The data has consistently shown that Black residents are far more likely than white residents to be #stopped and #searched and less likely to be found with #contraband.
If the regulation is finalized, the new data detailing how often #police #lie to #people about the #reason they were stopped would be included in the annual report.
