350 Wenatchee Climate Conversations NCW

Family,

We continue to dream and manifest our Black futures this February. This week’s focus is on creating a future for ourselves that is safe from excessive, brutal, and militarized police terror.

After millions took to the streets in protest last year to honor the lives of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade, and too many others, Black communities are making major strides in defunding the police and investing in alternatives that actually keep us safe.

Hear from Black organizers this Thursday, February 18 at 6 PM ET via Facebook Live as we talk about divesting from the police and investing in safety for Black communities.

News cycles and policy makers may not acknowledge this, but cities across the country are considering proposals to defund the police. This is thanks to Black organizers and communities turning the national outcry to abolish policing into community-led initiatives to transform city, state, and federal government.

Join us Thursday for a look at campaigns to defund the police in Louisville, Austin, Minneapolis, and Illinois. Frontline community organizers will discuss what a future without police looks like, local abolition successes, and how you can be part of shifting massive investments in law enforcement into community-envisioned safety initiatives that actually work.

We know ending police violence requires a thoughtful, deliberate, and participatory approach. And it’s already begun.

Tune in and learn with us,
