Description
So long as police exercise violence with impunity, we will never be safe. So long as a badge is a license to murder without accountability, it will be sought by those who desire tyranny. So long as the agents of enforcement are from outside the communities they patrol, they will never understand its needs. So long as our governments choose to fund aggression over nourishment, healthcare, & education, we will never have justice and we will never have peace. We reject fascism. We call for a complete reimagining of the role of law enforcement in our communities. We stand for sanctuary and respect for all beings – and in this moment, we stand for Black lives especially. Black lives matter. Trans lives matter. Indigenous lives matter. – – – – Donate to 40 community bail funds at once: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/bail_funds_george_floyd (https://secure.actblue.com/donate/bail_funds_george_floyd)   Join and support Vancouver-area mutual aid organizations: https://mutualaid.shadowsmile.ca/ (https://mutualaid.shadowsmile.ca/) Donate to Critical Resistance: http://criticalresistance.org/donate/ways-to-give/ (http://criticalresistance.org/donate/ways-to-give/) Join and support Black Visions Minnesota: https://www.blackvisionsmn.org/ (https://www.blackvisionsmn.org/) Listen to Justice in America (episode 20) https://theappeal.org/justice-in-america-episode-20-mariame-kaba-and-prison-abolition/ (https://theappeal.org/justice-in-america-episode-20-mariame-kaba-and-prison-abolition/) Listen to Intersectionality Matters! http://bit.ly/intersectionalitymatters (http://bit.ly/intersectionalitymatters) Listen to Pod for the Cause https://civilrights.org/podforthecause/ (https://civilrights.org/podforthecause/) A reading list on Policing, Rebellion, and the Criminalization of Blackness https://www.radicalhistoryreview.org/abusablepast/reading-towards-abolition-a-reading-list-on-policing-rebellion-and-the-criminalization-of-blackness/ (https://www.radicalhistoryreview.org/abusablepast/reading-towards-abolition-a-reading-list-on-policing-rebellion-and-the-criminalization-of-blackness/)
