## Resource

Michael takes us back to 2013, when the CDC reported a 21% drop in the homicide rate among black youth, only to see the Black Lives Matter movement launch and fundamentally reshape American policing, the criminal justice system, and urban policy. The result? A catastrophic surge in youth homicides, with the CDC finding a 37% increase in the youth homicide rate between 2019 and 2020. The speaker argues that the progressive Marxist policies implemented in cities like Chicago, New York, and Denver have led to a decade of radical reforms that dismantled what was actually working.
