Defund to Abolish
A 400-Year Struggle against Policing in Montreal
From: Disarm, Defund, Dismantle
$1.20
In Defund to Abolish the Montreal Defund the Police Coalition examine the long history of resistance to policing in Montreal. They argue that the problem with policing today is not too little reform, but instead policing itself. The chapter examines how police abolition benefits communities by helping to create new solidarities among communities, who are harmed at once by the police as well as the hierarchical and oppressive social order that the police abet and help to create among racialized and/or working-class Canadians. The chapter discusses topics such as reinvesting in community care, harm prevention expansion, and transformative justice.
