Activists and organizers across the country are calling for the defunding and abolition of police forces. This goes further than simply reforming the police, which is what the #8CantWait campaign advocates for, as reform doesn't go far enough to address the true issues with the current state of policing in America. According to #8toAbolition: "As police and prison abolitionists, we believe that [the 8 Can't Wait campaign] is dangerous and irresponsible, offering a slate of reforms that have already been tried and failed, that mislead a public newly invigorated to the possibilities of police and prison abolition, and that do not reflect the needs of criminalized communities."
Below is a list of Black educators, thinkers, speakers, entrepreneurs and artists I suggest everyone take a listen to as they have been a source of great help and inspiration for me. Rather than try and sum up in my own words what each of their messages and missions are, I implore you to click through these links and explore their work in their own words.
