Patrisse Cullors - The Hill "Celebs sign petition calling for defunding police, creating public health system"

The Hill | June 3, 2020

“After many celebrities donated to fund bail for protesters arrested while demonstrating against police brutality, more high-profile stars are also leveraging their fame and influence to call for systemic changes. 

Celebrities like John Legend and Megan Rapinoe are among others who recently signed a petitionthat highlights two issues disproportionately affecting black communities: police brutality and a lack of access to quality health care.

The letter calls for local governments to decrease spending on police departments and reallocate money towards education and health care to better protect vulnerable populations — especially now during the coronavirus pandemic.”
