An Appeal to the National Security Community to Fight Racial Injustice

The authors, former U.S. officials, assert that racial injustice and inequality within the United States fundamentally threaten national security and undermine the country's standing as a global beacon of freedom.

• The authors contend that domestic racial injustice and inequality are fundamental threats to the ability of the United States to protect its national security.
• The ongoing murder of innocent black people and persistent legacies of racism, including over-policing and economic inequity, undermine the U.S. ability to function as a society and its international credibility.
