THE COALITION

The Defund the Police Coalition was formed in June 2020, following the police Killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor in the United States and Chantal Moore and Regis Korchinski-Paquet in so-called Canada.

The initial members of the coalition created a set of ten demands, meant to combat police racism and violence and create a new vision and practice of collective safety in Montreal. The coalition now includes over 80 members and an evolving set of working groups devoted to specific coalition activities and objectives.
