"For me, defund is such a clear, easy demand to understand. People understand it, they just don’t want to do it. People are like, 'Oh, it’s so complicated!' No, it’s not. We’ve seen for years people defund public education and take that money and put it into more military, more policing, more prisons. The demand is to reverse that trend." —Mariame Kaba "Yes, we want to take money away from death and put it toward life, especially in a pandemic and climate catastrophe and economic crisis." —Andrea J.
