​We Keep Us Safe: A Discussion of Police Violence with the SF Mime Troupe

A year after the murder of George Floyd, national sentiments around reforming and defunding the police are swinging back to their levels before BlackLivesMatter protests swept the nation in summer 2020. The majority of Americans still oppose diverting funding from police departments. Where do we go next? We'll hear from guests who have worked successfully to reallocate budgets toward community-based interventions in health and wellbeing. How do racial justice and economic transformation go hand-in-hand?

Discussion hosted by Kari Barclay. Audio engineering by Will McCandless. With special guests:
