    Quotes
    "The rules and laws in a society are written by the people in power to keep them in power. For me, that makes a ton of sense"

    "We are socialized to believe that police and prisons and systems of punishment are what make us safe. But those systems actually perpetuate cycles of violence."

    "The reality is that the communities with the most resources are the safest, and those are generally wealthy white communities."

    "When we care about one another, we do things differently, and those things are usually rooted in love, empathy, compassion, inclusion, justice, and kindness."

    "The original purpose of policing has always been to control populations, command and control, and squash rebellions."

    "The initial police force were actually slave catchers, or I should say, catchers of enslaved people."

    "As a white male, cisgender white male, I could use my privilege and access to help support social change, not be at the forefront, but to get my foot in the door and then pass the mic, so to speak."

    "When people have mental health support, because anxiety and depression feed into people not being safe, when people have their needs met, we're cool."

    "I was always fascinated with society and why we do the things we do and why things are set up the way they are, and I was learning about systemic racism."

    "Something that I feel was pretty unique to your film is the perspective on what safety is. Safety is a well-resourced community, that's when we inherently feel safe."
