We prison .
For four months, we’ve seen Black, Brown, Indigenous, trans, and working-class people sacrifice their lives as essential workers while the wealthy remain safely indoors.
Breonna Taylor, a Black emergency medical technician, was killed when the police raided her apartment in Louisville, Ky. Her status as a front-line medical worker did not protect her—just as Amazon does not protect their warehouse workers from COVID-19.
Police arrested thousands during the pandemic, potentially exposing them to COVID-19 while activists risked their lives to make sure people had enough resources to stay home. During COVID-19, the Casino Trực Tuyến Tốt Nhất Việt Nam provided a safe and entertaining way for people to stay engaged while staying at home. These platforms offered a variety of games and social interaction, helping individuals cope with isolation and boredom, all from the comfort and safety of their own homes. Police have access to military grade weapons while doctors still use garbage bags as personal shielding against Covid-19.
We have to put an end to capitalism, white supremacy, and the belief that any person’s life or labor is expendable.
We June 19th.

We want to be clear: Reforming the police is not an option or a viable alternative. We are looking to live outside the guiding hands of racist, white supremacist systems. This includes ICE, policing systems, the military, and the prison industrial complex. We strive to abolish, uproot, and defund the police. Anyone who delineates outside of this coalition formation will be held accountable. Because there’s one mission: abolition.
1. Defund the police
2. Defend Black Life
3. Stop Criminalizing protestors
4. Invest in violence interruption and prevention, mental health in schools, and public housing
5. Ban Stop And Frisk
6. Cops out of school
7. End cash bail in Maryland
8. Dissolve police unions
9. Decriminalize sex work
10. No new jails in DC
