Black Lives Matter activists are calling on the Biden administration to embrace legislation brought forth by a group seeking to “abandon” police and prisons.

The BREATHE Act, introduced over the summer by ‘Squad’ members Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), has been developed by the Electoral Justice Project for the Movement for Black Lives (M4BL).

The group’s website makes clear that America “cannot achieve genuine safety and liberation until we abandon police, prisons, and all punishment paradigms.”

The Act itself, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, not only seeks to defund the police but also divest resources from incarceration and “reduce the Department of Defense budget.”

Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors, in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, listed it amongst the things she “expects from the next administration.”

And she expects to see action on it almost immediately.
