‘When we say #DefundThePolice we mean developing alternatives to racist punishment and brutality. “This work has been around for a while and is a great tool for rethinking our ideas about what public safety should be,” Rodríguez wrote in 2020.
In another post he wrote: “White supremacy, systemic racism and exclusion are at the root of the problem of violence. “If we want this to end, we have to commit to dismantling white supremacist structures and fighting for equity.”
