The following sponsored message from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress has been sent to you via In These Times. As a nonprofit, the vast majority of our funding comes from readers like you—but revenue from organizations that advertise with In These Times helps us produce more of the reporting that you want to see.
Right now, most major cities in America are channeling huge war-chests of money into police departments – but a rising tide of people are demanding concrete, bold solutions that can save lives. We want you with us.
From the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Damian Daniels, Tony McDade, and more — just in the last few months — we are reminded once again just how badly change is needed.
That’s why momentum to defund the police is growing. The message is simple: Drastically reduce funding for police. Invest in community services that help us instead. Do it now.
It is not enough to paint slogans. We need systemic change.
If enough people speak up now, we can help build a dramatically different world together. A world that is not based on racist, violent policing, but instead that supports our communities to thrive.
In Solidarity,
Team AOC
