An audio teach-in with clips from activists, abolitionists, and more that traces the call to defund the police back to the history of policing, through the tangled web of systemic racism that touches health, housing, and everything in between. By deprioritizing police through the NYC Budget, as a city we assert that we can emerge on the other side, we can collectively imagine and begin to enact a world where police are no longer necessary. Edited by Brian Hochberger, Janette Lu, and Vanessa Thill.
