Across the nation the Minneapolis Uprising has sparked a movement in favor of defunding the police–redirecting funds to non-policing forms of public safety and community support. Public schools, healthcare agencies, and housing programs as well as other services necessary to create a stable, healthy, and safe community have received budgetary cuts while law enforcement continue to receive resources. In fact, since the 1980s the financial investment in law enforcement and the criminal justice system, two agencies continuing to cause harm and trauma in BIPOC communities, has significantly outpaced our investment in community and health services. Our nation’s scarcity mindset would like us to believe that there are not enough resources for everyone, however, disrupting systems that misalign with community needs allows for the opportunity to center access to essential human rights.
