Portland. Minneapolis. Chicago. Aurora. New York City. The list is seemingly endless. In these cities, we’ve heard an echoing rally cry, a demand from our people who are gathering in the streets day in and day out, calling for one thing … justice. Our people are saying enough is enough. Not only are we calling for an end to police brutality, violence, and harm but we won’t settle for anything less than a world where we can re-imagine what public safety looks like -- one where we aren’t forced to live in fear of state-sanctioned violence.
But the response from the government on the local, state, and national levels have been clear. A countless number of states have painted Black Lives Matter on their streets but virtually none have taken real steps to transform policing as we know it. Lawmakers are content with performative activism. They are not willing to implement tangible forms of accountability on killer cops and corrupt police departments. But we know the truth, we won’t settle for platitudes.
And we need your help to fund a movement that puts the power in the hands of our communities because we know best how to achieve a better and more safe world for our friends, families, and those who are most vulnerable.
Chip-in to fund our work to protect our people against state-sanctioned violence.
