. @prisonculture & I shared some thoughts on #ChauvinTrial #verdict & #MakhiaBryant for @newsone The whole damn system is in fact guilty as hell. It’s time to build a world where there is more safety resources & options: a world without police #DefundPolice https://newsone.com/4143261/george-floyd-makhia-bryant-abolition-police/

A World Where George Floyd And Ma’Khia Bryant Would Still Be Here Is A World Without Police

The state will gladly sacrifice a few officers in unique and spectacular cases to preserve the status quo while enabling policymakers to peddle the idea that justice has been done.

For more from us on reparations instead of prosecutions for police violence, resharing a piece we wrote last summer on #JusticeForBreonnaTaylor in @Essence https://www.essence.com/feature/breonna-taylor-justice-abolition/

We Want More Justice For Breonna Taylor Than The System That Killed Her Can Deliver

Under a reparations framework Breonna’s family - and all of us - are also entitled to more than an individualized response to what is a systemic problem.

There Is No Country For Black Girls Like Ma’Khia Bryant

With much left to unpack in the guilty Derek Chauvin verdict over the murder of George Floyd, Ma'Khia's death details exactly how the pendulum swings for Black women and girls.

We Are Fighting for a World Where Ma’Khia Bryant Would Have Lived

Policing is never about care, and that is why so many are demanding that we rethink the meaning of public safety.
