Patrick Gaspard, president of Open Society Foundations, discusses the role of young people and civil society in this historic summer in the United States in this inspiring and wide-ranging conversation with Jonathan Becker, vice chancellor of the Open Society University Network.

Senior Fellow Nikolas Gvosdev discusses Nahal Toosi's recent "Politico" article about a subtle but major shift in the international landscape: human rights groups focusing on the United States' human rights record. Will this become a focus of the Biden campaign as it begins to solidify its messaging?

Molly O'Toole, immigration and security reporter at the "Los Angeles Times," discusses Trump's "Remain in Mexico" asylum policy and its many ethical and legal issues.

Plus, she draws some connections between the George Floyd protests against policy brutality and the issues that migrants face at the border.

The killing of George Floyd is another tragic moment in the long and painful history of racism in America. We feel the anger that arises from this assault on human decency. We hear the cries for action. The Council stands in solidarity with the millions of citizens who are raising their voices demanding change. Carnegie Council's motto is Ethics Matter. We believe Black Lives Matter.
