Defund the Police in Minneapolis
To support plans to defund the police. By listening to community members and POC while making a plan to defund the police. To make sure black peoples voices are heard, when it comes to defunding the police. Then actually cary out with the plan.
Why is this important?
Defunding the police is important because the police don't keep us safe. They put black people and there bodies at risk everyday. And for many years we have already tried reform. We have tried to reform the police and change them. But it just doesn't work. Now we need to take away some of the funding so that they hear our message. And use some of that money to invest in our communities. Investing in health care, schools, and many other essential necessities, where funding is lacked.
