"We need to divest from that money and invest that money in things that actually keep people safe, like housing, health care, food, confliction resolution and services on our streets. That's what we need to keep us safe. And if black lives matter, those are the kinds of changes they'll make." https://www.npr.org//activists-challenge-d-c-mayor-to-do-m

It means investing more in mental-health care and housing, and expanding the use of community mediation and violence interruption programs." https://www.washingtonpost.com//defund-police-heres-what-/
