SUMMARY:Defund the Police Crash Course - Part 2
DESCRIPTION:[English Below] \nEl 19 de junio de 1865\, las tropas de la Unión llegaron a Galveston\, Texas para hacer cumplir la Proclamación de Emancipación. Aunque la gente esclavizada ya era libre legalmente\, muchas seguían trabajado en Texas y en el sur durante dos años después de la declaración de Lincoln. \nEn el mismo sentido\, aun siendo legalmente libres\, sabemos que las personas negras\, lxs inmigrantes y la clase trabajadora rara vez han tenido la experiencia de vivir con libertad de la violencia policial y el acoso del estado. ¡Ya es suficiente! A nivel nacional\, el mandato de “Desinvertir en la policía” ha cobrado vida propia. Sin embargo\, entendemos este mandato como parte de un proyecto en curso de abolición que aún no se ha realizado plenamente¡ \n¡Únete al Movimiento del Amanecer (Sunrise Movement)\, Mijente\, Defensorxs de Sueños (Dream Defenders)\, AfroSocialistas (AfroSocialists)\, el Grupo de Socialistas de Color (Socialists of Color Caucus) y Sureñxs en Nueva Tierra (Southerners on New Ground) para profundizar nuestra comprensión de la abolición y aprender cómo convertir el mandato de “Desinvertir en la policía” en una acción tangible en nuestras comunidades! \nRegístrese Ahora \n——– \nOn June 19\, 1865\, Union troops arrived in Galveston\, Texas to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation. Though enslaved people were already legally free\, many had still labored in Texas and the South for two years after Lincoln’s declaration. \nIn that same vein\, while being legally free\, we know that Black folks\, immigrants\, and working class people have rarely experienced freedom from police violence and harassment from the state. We’ve had enough! Nationally\, the mandate to “Defund the Police” has taken on a life of its own. We\, however\, understand this mandate as part of an ongoing project of abolition that has not yet been fully realized. \nJoin Sunrise Movement\, Southerners on New Ground\, Dream Defenders\, AfroSoc DSA and Mijente\, as we deepen our understanding of abolition and learn how to turn the mandate to “Defund the Police” into tangible action in our communities! \nSign Up Now
