Billions of dollars are allocated for police budgets each year to fund the abuse and over-policing of Black and brown neighborhoods. Besides wanting to remove police as responders for "non-criminal" calls (homeless services, traffic enforcement, mental health emergencies, substance abuse, public transit and other areas of social service that do not merit armed law enforcement responses), defund the police is a demand to take the billions given to police and sheriff departments and put them into resources and the actual communities themselves. Beyond wanting to end police abuse and the excess amount of city and state funds allocated to law enforcement, abolition is truly about imagination. Imagining what life could be if these resources WERE put into these communities. Into services. Into care. Into programs and health and wellness. Truly imagining what could be. If we had all the resources that go into these "blue lives," just think what we could actually do for Black lives. We don't know what a world without police looks like and it is hard to imagine. But we have to try and we have to begin somewhere. Let's daydream and imagine and create it together - a world without police abuse and a world where everyone actually has what they need. This is the world I want to live in. What does your world look like? Written by Nicola Graham See less
