Defund Police Invest in Communities
Protest signs and posters on the Black Lives Matter Memorial Fence, located on the north side of Lafayette Park in Washington D.C.
In this image, "Defund Police Invest in Communities" is written on a black chain link fence with colorful paper.
<span>The Black Lives Matter Memorial fence was a temporary chainlink fence installed in the area north of Lafayette Park and the White House from June 2, 2020, until January 30, 2021. The fence prevented public access to the area, and it also served as an important site of protest and self-expression. </span><br /><br /><span>Activist Nadine Seiler played a crucial role in protecting and caring for the fence, along with Karen Irwin and other activists in a loosely-formed group informally known as the "Guardians of the Fence." Nadine Seiler and Aliza Leventhal systematically documented the fence over the course of months, and Seiler became the de facto curator of the fence. </span><br /><br /><span>Additional information: </span><br /><br /><span>Library of Congress blog post </span><a href="https://blogs.loc.gov/loc/2022/01/protest-preserved-signs-from-d-c-s-black-lives-matter-fence/">"Protest Preserved: Signs from D.C.'s Black Lives Matter Memorial Fence" </a><br /><br /><span>D.C.

Defund the Police Invest in the Community Street Mural, Erie, PA
Defund the Police✋ðŸ¾âœ‹ðŸ¿âœ‹ðŸ¾Invest in Community is painted on the pavement. Blue paint bleeds down from the words "Defund the Police" to the three hands. Behind the hands is a landscape.
The mural was designed by a black artist who was assisted by black, brown, queer, and immigrant volunteers. They also received help from white allies.

Flowers for the Future
On an all-white background, the poster depicts a black-and-white illustration of a Black child seated to the left and a white police officer in full riot gear to the right.
Crosslegged, the child has short curly hair and is dressed simply in an all-white short sleeve shirt and shorts. On the ground near the child's right hand are multiple crayons, which the child has used to draw flowers and a heart that reads "BLM" for Black Lives Matter. The crayons and the child's drawings offer the only pop of color in the image. The child extends their left hand up, offering to the police officer a hand drawn yellow flower with a simple green stem.
