During the chat, Harris said police were being militarized while budgets for education and social programs were being cut. This whole movement is about rightly saying, we need to take a look at these budgets and figure out whether it reflects the right priorities, she said.
We need to have this conversation and critically examine and understand this is not working, Harris said. It's not working. So, this is an important conversation and not just a conversation cause to your earlier point, can't just be about talk. It has to be about forcing change.
Defund the police; the issue behind it is that we need to reimagine how we are creating safety, she said. And when you have many cities that have one third of their entire city budget focused on policing, we know that is not the smart way and the best way or the right way to achieve safety.
