EXCERPT:
CUNNINGHAM: “Many of the cities that have talked about removing that money like Minneapolis and Seattle have actually paused or slowed how they were thinking about moving that money. So this rise in crime is not the fault of the movement, it's actually the fault of the police, and this has been our point all along. Why should we keep funding systems and institutions that keep rendering themselves ineffective? We should be talking about gun control, living wages, save housing, education. That’s where we should be moving the money to to ensure truly safe streets."
