NFL funding ‘defund the police’ movement | Eastern NC Now

The National Football League (NFL) is funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars through it’s “Inspire Change” program to groups that promote the Defund the Police movement, according to a review by Fox News.

According to the NFL’s website, “Inspire Change” was created by players and clubs “as part of an ongoing acknowledgement of the ways that systemic racism contributes to barriers to opportunity and equality.”

Groups that have received funds as part of “Inspire Change” program include the Vera Institute of Justice, the Oregon Justice Resource Center, and the Community Justice Exchange. All of these groups support defunding or abolishing the police, according to Fox News’ review of their public statements.

The NFL gave $300,000 to the Oregon Justice Resources Center (OJRC) through the “Inspire Change” program. The OJRC has ties to Antifa and has called for police defunding and other social justice measures.
