 daily protests against police killings and systemic racism has made the 
 Movement for Black Lives the largest movement in U.S. history. While the 
 summer’s protests were sparked by acts of state-sponsored brutality, they 
 speak to a broader vision for a country where people can be safe, valued, 
 and held. \n\nWith these protests, we are closer to that now than we’ve 
 ever been before. The vision replaces police force to protect the interests 
 of the few with care and community that uplifts everyone. It stops border 
 apprehensions and deportations and welcomes immigrants with open arms. And 
 it opens the door to address root causes of crime and migration, including 
 our own destructive policies at home and abroad. \n\nTo truly invest in 
 security for our communities, we must defund militarism, reclaim our 
 resources, and invest in the public services and institutions that keep 
 strengthen our communities and keep us safe. We trace the intersections of 
 policing, immigration enforcement, and U.S. militarism and identify 
 entry-points to join the movements against these forces of violence. 
 \n\nAcross movements, we’re turning the tide to defund militarism and 
 invest in our 
 communities.\n\nhttps://unitedwedream.org/defund-militarism-invest-in-what-keeps-us-safe/\n\nORGANIZATIONS\n\nUnited
