BPI's landmark Gautreaux case is one focus of an inspiring 15-minute documentary produced for The New York Times by the independent news organization Retro Report. 

The film looks back on the history of the case, including the first Supreme Court opinion to address racial discrimination in public housing, and explores its current relevance. Through interviews with BPI's Alex Polikoff, lead attorney on the case, former HUD Secretary Henry Cisneros, and others, it provides an in-depth look at the legal, policy and social implications of the case, which remains active in the court system today.

Testifying at Chicago City Council Committee hearings last week, BPI's Director of Justice Reform Adam Gross urged council members to support Mayor Rahm Emanuel's ordinance, because it incorporates key reform recommendations made last spring by the Police Accountability Task Force, in which BPI played an active role.  At the same time, Gross cautioned that the ordinance alone is not enough to ensure reform, advising the city council members that in conjunction with passing the ordinance, the city must move forward with a recommendation to form a Community Safety Oversight Board (CSOB) empowered to oversee the police accountability infrastructure.
