Then, Trump sent the National Guard to Chicago to do the same thing. Our cities have known for a long time what works when it comes to lowering violent crime rates – its investment into life-affirming programs and deliberate moves towards equity and justice. The flooding of our cities with military personnel is directly tied to the country’s ever-inflating Pentagon budget. The oppression and violence we ship around the world comes home – we have to defund the Pentagon and invest in our communities if we want to achieve peace and justice.
