In Arrested Mobility: Overcoming the Threat to Black Movement (Publication Date: May 15, 2025), Charles T. Brown, founder and CEO of Equitable Cities, argues that the legacy of structural racism and White supremacy has led to disinvestment and over-policing in communities of color, thwarting opportunity, as physical mobility and social mobility are intrinsically linked. The experience of policed movement for Black people in the US and around the world is what Brown refers to as arrested mobility.&nbsp;A clarion call to change, Arrested Mobility demands action. Brown shares the powerful stories of Black Americans leading the way to un-arrest mobility for Black people, other people of color, and other marginalized groups. He then lays out solutions to un-arrest mobility, including enacting equitable policies, penalizing discriminatory enforcement, investing in Black communities, expanding educational and economic opportunities, and providing mental and physical health resources.&nbsp; About the SpeakerCharles T. Brown is the founder and CEO of Equitable Cities, a minority- and veteran-owned urban planning, public policy, and research firm focused on the intersection of transportation, health, and equity. He is a military veteran, creator and host of the Arrested Mobility podcast and an adjunct professor at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University. *This lecture will only be avilable during the live session and neighter the video, audio, or transcript will be shared publically.
