The meme features a tweet from Bree Newsome Bass, a former activist and artist. She writes: "Defund the police is not about defunding the police. It's about defunding the systems of oppression that have been built on the back of our communities. Defunding the police means taking money from the police and putting it into the communities they are supposed to serve."

Bree Newsome Bass @ © @BreeNewsome “Defund the police” freaks people out because it actually addresses structural racism in a concrete way. Anything that addresses systemic racism or economic inequality beyond shallow symbolism & gestures will be met with resistance. No different from the fight to end segregation.
