Masked person reclining on a backpack: "Hey, when we defund the police, what are you most excited about? Where do you want the money to go to make our town safer?" Seated masked person: "I think like, childcare, you know? Or funding our schools. It's hard to teach with so few supplies and so little pay!" Person wearing a flower crown and a mask that reads DYKE: "For sure. I want all my students to never worry about breakfast or lunch. Free meals for all kids! Shit, and adults, too! More meal programs! With healthy food!" Masked person seated on a blanket: "Totally. I'm looking forward to more housing solutions. And career counseling and — " (speaking in unison with a masked person with an undercut) "—emotional and psychological counseling!" Masked person with an undercut: "Do you know how nice it would be if my department had more funding for crisis intervention?" Masked person in a crop top: "I hear you. We could also provide better, cheaper treatment for our physical selves. I'd like to offer my EMT services to people without them being afraid of an ambulance bill." Masked person with their knees to their chest seated next to a bike: "And then... maybe more bike lanes. Better public transit. Free public transit! To make it safer to go places." All in unison together: "Yeah! Let's do it! Let's defund the police!"
