Could we use better terminology, instead of defund. Redistribute, redirect. increase civilian, medical, psychological, social services into PD’s as members of the teams. More education, screening, psychological testing of candidates. Transparency when a complaint is made.https://twitter.com/ElisaCardnell/status/1271076374225321984 …
Those are the reforms we're talking about. I only focused on the ones that clearly impact budgeting in my blog bc otherwise it was too long. Black women started the defund mvmt and it isn't our role to change the name - it's our role to learn and build support for the policies.
