So *TODAY* I want to talk about The BREATHE Act! You may have seen this floating around social media and today, I am going to break it down for you.
Why is it called the BREATHE Act? Yes, we are honoring #EricGarner and #GeorgeFlloyd ‘s last words. But this is also for the millions of us who want to breathe freely. This is also in honor of the lives of those stolen by police and state-sanctioned violence — Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Natasha McKenna, George Floyd, Aiyana Stanley-Jones, Elijah McClain, Pearlie Golden, Kayla Moore, Freddie Gray, Atatiana Jefferson, Oscar Grant, and far too many more.
Who created it?
@mvmnt4blklives M4BL, founded in 2014, is a coalition of 150 abolitionist organizations
Representatives Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley support the bill
What does it propose? Radical transformation of our criminal-justice system
To all those who have questioned defunding the police and transforming our system as realistic, THIS is how it happens. | Posted on 13/Jul/2020 23:54:08
