Stop Defending and Start Defunding the Police

To truly be anti-racist, white folks need to take a stand against the institution of policing.

White people: before you go defending cops and criticizing Black protest, remember the protest slogan, “No justice, no peace.”

As Ijeoma Oluo argues, it’s not enough to be non-racist; white people need to be actively anti-racist. Refusing to hold space for Black anger and making excuses for police officers is a failure to be anti-racist.
