“Defund the Police” - we’ve heard it on the news, we’ve seen posters at marches for Black Lives Matter around the United States, and Montreal is no different. Over 40 organizations in Montreal have united in a Coalition that is calling for defunding the Montreal police service in order to achieve a safer society for all persons.

We chat with Jessica Quijano an organizer for the Defund the Police Coalition, with Alexandra Pierre from La Ligue des droits et libertés, as well as hear from Marlihan Lopez, Sandra Wesley, Janis Qavavauq, and Stephanie Germain.
