Have Americans Warmed to Calls to ‘Defund the Police’?
As they learn more about it, voters have shown some receptiveness to the
phrase, polling suggests. But they largely want to reinvest resources, not

Latinos Back Black Lives Matter Protests. They Want Change for Themselves, Too.
Many Latinos are pushing for an acknowledgment of the systemic racism they
face, and a conversation about over-policing in their own communities.
