$6,000,000,000.
That’s the policing budget in New York City alone. It’s truly mind-boggling. That’s more than we spend on housing, youth, hospitals, and homelessness services combined.
In the last couple weeks, police have used these budgets to pepper-spray children in the face. Shoot journalists with rubber bullets. Fire tear gas at peaceful residents. Taser and arrest people who weren’t even protesting.
That’s why today, we need a massive, people-powered effort to push back. We’re directing 100% of funds on this page to support groups working to defund police, hold cops accountable, and end police violence – chip in right now.
We’re in a crisis of state violence.
Taking on this kind of abuse of power often takes major risk. That’s what many groups are doing. We need to stand with them.
Split a contribution right now to support four groups who are working hard to end police violence.
Thank you,
