Knowledge is power,

ACLU Supporter –
"Divest." "Defund." "Abolish."
It's been over a year since the police killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. Yet, in 2021 alone, police have still killed over 500 people so far, including Daunte Wright, 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant, and far too many others. At the same time, resounding calls to "divest," "defund," and "abolish" continue to grow across our country. Calls for transformational change and a complete re-examining of public safety that Black organizers and advocates have been pushing toward long before now.
So what does it all mean for our country? Will this moment be different in stopping the racist police practices that have terrorized Black people for centuries?
The ACLU dives into these questions and more in our inaugural email course, "Racism in Policing" – and we want you to be a part of it by signing up today.
