The History of MAMLEO

The Massachusetts Association of Minority Law Enforcement Officers (MAMLEO) was founded in 1968 in Boston by a group of Black police officers from the Boston and Metropolitan District Commission Police Departments. The organization’s original name was the Massachusetts Association of Afro-American Police (MAAAP). It was renamed MAMLEO in 1983 to better reflect the multiculturalism of its membership.

MAAAP was founded in response to the lack of minority representation in law enforcement in Massachusetts. At the time, there were very few Black and Hispanic police officers in the state. MAAAP’s mission was to increase minority hiring in law enforcement and to improve relations between police officers and the communities they serve.

The organization’s early years were marked by challenges. MAAAP faced resistance from the Boston Police Department, which did not want to see an increase in minority hiring. Despite these challenges, MAAAP persevered. The organization continued to advocate for minority hiring and to improve relations between police officers and the community. 

In the years since its founding, MAMLEO has made significant progress in achieving its goals. The organization has helped to increase minority hiring in law enforcement in Massachusetts, and it has played a key role in improving relations between police officers and the communities they serve. MAMLEO has also provided a variety of services to the community, including youth programs, job training, and legal assistance.

Today, MAMLEO is a respected organization that is known for its commitment to diversity and inclusion in law enforcement. The organization continues to advocate for minority hiring and to improve relations between police officers and the community. MAMLEO is a valuable resource for minority law enforcement officers in Massachusetts, and it plays an important role in building a more just and equitable criminal justice system.

“Airpocalypse”: David Wallace-Wells on Red Skies, Raging Wildfires & Pollution Link to Climate Crisis

Record-breaking Canadian wildfires continue to fill skies across much of North America with smoke, putting about 100 million people under air quality alerts. New York City recorded the worst air quality of any major city in the world as a result of the haze. Around the world, air pollution is already responsible for as many as 10 million deaths per year, and the problem is likely to get worse, says New York Times opinion writer David Wallace-Wells. He explains how today’s smoky skies are a glimpse of our future in the climate crisis, when warmer temperatures and dry conditions will continue to increase the size and severity of wildfires across the globe.

Mid MO Trans Folks on Living Under Emergency

In this discussion, we talk with two trans organizers in Missouri about the recently withdrawn emergency rule made by the state Attorney General Andrew Bailey. At the time, the emergency rule, which was one of the most far reaching bans on trans access to affirming medical care, had been stayed by the courts and was awaiting further hearing.

The Attorney General withdrew the ruling, claiming that it was no longer needed because the Missouri legislature had passed two bills that removed access to trans care for youth. The situation on the ground in Missouri is still dire, but the particular extremity of the rule has at least temporarily been dodged. (Just after, Gov. DeSantis in Florida introduced a flurry of new anti-trans legislation as if to outstrip Missouri in hateful targeting). During this conversation, we discuss the specific details that made this rule significantly threatening, as well as the various reactions and organizing efforts that it provoked. Though the situation has changed in Missouri, the discussion still holds important insight for those of us committed to the struggle against the state’s gender fascism, since this is a coordinated effort by the Republican party across state lines to wield violent power against specific populations deemed disposable. I will also read a statement by the organizers written in the wake of the withdrawal of the rule.

9PM Earth Riot Radio

EARTH IS THE ONLY CELEBRITY THAT MATTERS

History was made by men triumphing over nature. Now the Earth makes history.

Earth has the right approach to the 6th Extinction. Engaging the human predator with its ungodly violence; filling us with fear so that we need strongmen and cruel armies. But our weak violence only spins us out. The Earth’s power is greater by many orders of magnitude. How can we join up?

 

-Rev Billy, on behalf of Savitri D and the Stop Shopping Choir
