Talk Out of School

Defunding Police & Investing in our Schools

Episode Summary

Leonie is joined by Alex Vitale, a professor at Brooklyn College and coordinator of the Policing and Social Justice Project, and Jasmine Gripper, Executive Director of Alliance for Quality Education. They discuss how over-policing in NYC and elsewhere has contributed to the unrest and violence we've seen in recent days, and why the city should cut funding for the police and invest the savings in improving our schools instead.
