BLM Calls on Biden to Back a Crazy Progressive ‘Civil Rights’ Bill

Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors on Friday penned an OpEd in Teen Vogue calling for the next president to back the BREATHE Act, something she calls “modern-day civil rights legislation.” Of course, the major backers behind the legislation are Squad members Reps. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI).

Specifically, Cullors says there needs to be “holistic treatment” for things like drug dependency and mental health issues and an end to the cash bail system “that punishes people for being poor.” The BLM leader takes issue with mandatory minimums and “over-policing.” . . .

Here’s what she said the legislation does:

It starts by divesting federal resources from vehicles of harm and punishment like policing and incarceration. That means slashing enormous police budgets. That means decriminalizing drug use and repealing other federal laws that have for too long been used to disproportionately criminalize Black women, children, and families. BREATHE will put us on the road to police and prison abolition, letting our loved ones out of federal prison and immigration detention facilities and building nurturing reentry systems to welcome them home and put them on the path to success and citizenship.

… BREATHE will provide organizations rooted in their communities with the funds to create public safety systems uniquely tailored to their community’s needs and incentivize states to decarcerate and defund.
