To create a country where all Black and Brown people are safe, we have to dismantle the status quo—and to do that, we need to understand how the system is designed. Cops go free because they are protected—by our culture, laws, institutions, and the people who run them. That's where "How Cops Get Off" comes in. The video series delegitimizes the police and criminal legal system. We hope it helps us amplify that police-free communities are possible for all of us!
Our first video – "The Narrative" – lays out how police have successfully woven their false narrative through Hollywood and the media that cops can do no wrong. Watch the video now and support us by sharing "How Cops Get Off" on social media.
I believe in the inherent dignity of Black people. Our dignity doesn't begin or end with racist institutions. For our communities to thrive, we must redefine what safety means. We must work together to make significant public investments in people—not police.
And understanding how we got here is the first step toward our liberation.
Onward,
