Mass Incarceration: This is a moral outrage

In New York, Black people are 5 times more likely than whites to be incarcerated for technical violations.

Defund the police isn’t just a slogan.

It’s a demand to shift resources from incarceration and criminalization to education and emancipation.

It might not be good politics right now — but neither was abolition for decades before the civil war. Movements shift public opinion.
