I am grateful to @prisonculture, an abolitionist I have learned so much from.

And I appreciate activists whose work lays out ways to take action and talk about defunding and abolishing police.

This is a great resource: Building a police-free future mpd150.com

Uprisings across the US began as a demand for justice for #GeorgeFloyd who was murdered by police in #Minneapolis. MPD 150 have been evaluating policing in that city. Their resource kit is a great FAQ on defunding and abolishing police. #BlackLivesMatter #BlackSpring

What does #DefundThePolice mean? What does #AbolishThePolice look like? Who do the police “protect and serve?” This is an important resource for the actions and conversations we must have about one of the main enforcers of white supremacist and racist structural oppression.

You can access this resource as a Zine as well as on Instagram mpd150.com/faq/

Read through and share. These uprisings began as a protest against police brutality. More policing is not the solution.
