(Blank) The Police, Fire the police! Police ABOLITIONIST Derecka Purnell on #PoliceReform & Freedom

Fill in the blank: _____________ the police, Fire the police, Forget the police, says our Get On Code guest! "In the midst of a pandemic, politicians have expanded police power to enforce public health orders, diverting resources from life saving programs and increasing the risk of police violence, infection, and harm". What about the murderers? What about sexual violence? What about Black on Black crime? How do we stay safe? Author and Lawyer JD Derecka Purnell believes that police reform can’t and won’t work, and that abolition is the only path forward. DERECKA PURNELL received her JD from Harvard Law School and works to end police and prison violence by providing legal assistance, research, and training to community-based organizations through an abolitionist framework. Her work and writing has been featured in the New York Times, NPR, The Atlantic, the Boston Globe, Harper's Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, The Appeal, Truthout, Slate, and many other publications. She is the co-creator of the COVID19 Policing Project at the Community Resource Hub for Safety Accountability. https://twitter.com/dereckapurnell & https://www.derecka.com/ Focused on #Empowerment, specifically #BlackEmpowerment, the Get On Code (The Fly Guy Show), is built on the #EmpowermentAgenda, and led by the Conscious Ω Bruh' @SekoVarner aka #MrEmpowerment. #GetOnCodeShow #GetOnCodePodcast #TheFlyGuysShow Interested in sponsoring the podcast?
