Philadelphia cancelled a $19 million increase for the police department and shifted $14 million of the police budget elsewhere — including affordable housing.
This is what "defund the police" means.
Egregious footnote: The same budget deal that led to passage of abortion bill also resulted in canceling an expansion of postpartum health coverage to thousands of new moms in Tennessee, which would have actually saved lives and helped moms & babies.
False to call that pro-life.
Even the statement, “Let’s invite more Black people to the table,” implies ownership of the table and control of who is invited.
Racism is about power.
