Agency Shifts Discourse on Police Defunding
In a groundbreaking move, Huge, a renowned Brooklyn-based agency, has developed an immersive and informative platform that aims to redefine the narrative around public safety. The platform, which does not involve any advertisements, is a testament to the promise of the defunding movement, encapsulated by the phrase "Defund to Refund".
The scenarios depicted on this platform were created in partnership with three Black artists. However, the identities of these artists remain unnamed in the search results. The collaboration aimed to visualize situations addressed by community care programs instead of police intervention, providing real examples of where community support services could have been utilised instead of police intervention resulting in violence.
The platform is a powerful blend of data, design, and storytelling. It presents the financial cost of police brutality, shedding light on the benefits of reinvesting in community support services. The agency used a story-based platform to illustrate the use of properly funded programs over police intervention, offering a fresh perspective on the concept of defunding the police.
Contrary to popular belief, the concept of defunding the police is not as radical as it may seem. The platform serves as a compelling argument for this approach, demonstrating that community care can be a more effective and humane solution to many public safety issues.
Huge's platform is a significant step forward in the ongoing conversation about public safety and the role of law enforcement. It invites us to reconsider our approach to community care and safety, and to envision a future where resources are directed towards programs that foster healing, justice, and support.
