Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams, whose campaign has doled out over $450K for private security, is on the board of directors for a radical foundation that wants to abolish police.
During the George Floyd unrest of 2020, she the"defund" aspect of the movement as favoring the"reformation and transformation" of law enforcement instead of abolishing policing.
"We have to have a transformation of how we view the role of law enforcement, how we view the construct of public safety, and how we invest not only in the work that we need them to do to protect us but the work that we need to do to protect and build our communities," Abrams said in June 2020."And that's the conversation we're having: We'll use different language to describe it, but fundamentally we must have reformation and transformation.
Stacey Abrams speaks onstage during the 2021 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Ripple of Hope Award Gala on Dec. 9, 2021, in New York City."We have to reallocate resources, so, yes," she said in another interview that same month when asked if police budgets should be reduced."If there is a moment where resources are so tight that we have to choose between whether we murder Black people or serve Black people, then absolutely: Our choice must be service.
Shortly after, she advocated for the"redistributive allocation of dollars" from police budgets so"we are not simply investing in public safety, but we're building a safer public through education, through health care, through food security, through affordable housing, and that we not see these things as being in conflict, but they have to be part of a holistic vision of what America should look like, what law enforcement and what society should look like in the 21st century.
