Sonya Massey should be ALIVE
I dont have any incredible bites of wisdom. I just want to say that Sonya Massey should be alive. I send love to her children and her family. Rest in Peace. Justice for Sonya.
I hope people understand why activists, artists, and organizers have called for the defunding of police. Not more resources, money, and support. As a historic institution they have proven time after time that they are not only racist, but are not here to protect all people. They are here to protect some people and to carry out the orders of the ruling class. Our communities would be better served if the billions spent on policing were placed into universal health care, affordable housing, well funded public (not private) education, and more worker control and ownership of their jobs and the wealth they create.
