Biden: let's do something on police reform. Reformist reforms don’t work. Diversifying the police force, training, and body cams do not reduce the funding or scope of policing. criticalresistance.org/resou… #SOTU2023

Police violence is unacceptable, and is killing Black people in our communities.
We all have a role to play in keeping our communities safe, and that includes "thinking twice" before calling 911 in the first place.

Biden says he's working to bring prescription drug prices down, so that people can feel "secure."
That's what real security is - being able to access healthcare and other basic human needs. That is how we keep our communities safe! #SOTU2023
