Although Bains believes Biden’s platform is the most progressive criminal justice platform the Democratic Party has ever had, and points out that Biden has already accepted some of the group’s recommendations, the task force recommends dozens more policies that go beyond Biden’s published plan. While activists call for reducing the number of police officers and policing budgets, Biden’s framework would actually increase the number of police officers in Black and brown communities. Biden has laid out specific policies for other racial groups — Latino Americans, Native Americans, Asian American and Pacific Islanders — though they are not as detailed as his broader plan for communities of color as a whole, and there is much overlap between them.
