Women’s March: ‘Defunding the Police Is a Feminist Issue
Defunding the police is a feminist issue,” declares the Women’s March website, which frames law enforcement as pathologized by “systemic racism.” The organization includes dedicated documents advising its political allies on how best to organize towards this end.
The organization’s homepage has a “Defund the Police” section providing the following the message:
The Women’s March is proud to support The Movement for Black Lives in their call to #DefundPolice. Defunding the police is a feminist issue because black, poor, immigrant and undocumented women are disproportionately targeted, abused and murdered by police. Women’s Marchers across the country are sharing information with their networks as a means to contribute meaningful conversation. This is our small way to channel energy into sustained organizing to bring about the new world we so desperately need.
A “social media toolkit” from the Women’s March echoes Joe Biden’s call to transfer government funding away from law enforcement. “It’s a feminist issue because resources that could otherwise be directed to support our communities ability to survive and thrive—housing, jobs, meaningful employment, and healthcare—is being funneled away from critical services to bolster the budgets of the police.”
“Women have a key role in the replacement of police with alternative emergency services,” according to the Women’s March.
The Women’s March “organizing toolkit” derided America as imbued with “systemic racism” and “white supremacy” as it calls to “defund the police.”
