A colorful floral sign spelling out “DEFUND” was installed in front of Portland City Hall in Oregon on Sunday, August 23, following weeks of protests in the city, local media reported. Local media said it’s unclear who or what organization installed the art piece, but its message aligns with the city’s nightly anti-racism protests and demonstrations against police violence. Calls to defund the police rose to prominence after George Floyd was killed when a Minneapolis Police Department officer knelt on his neck in late May. Credit: Lisa R Cox via Storyful
