Borrowing from black abolition feminist scholar Andrea Ritchie, movements against police violence should promote “…nurturing values, visions, and practices”.[^3] Freire’s underlying message of conscientization in *Pedagogy of the Oppressed* is that it is everyone’s responsibility to respond to the situation positively and thoughtfully.[^4]
