According to their website
1) Defund the police
2) Reparations for slavery
3) Guaranteed income for minorities
4) Free college and open admissions

Sounds like reform and policies to me.

1. Take money from the police budget and put into other areas. That could help all Americans depending on where the money is going.
2. Money and land for descendants of slavery.
3. Universal basic income was already being discussed by Andrew Yang.
4. Free college and open admissions is a Bernie Sanders idea and would be for ALL Americans.
5. Political prisoners should definitely be released.
6. Another policy change for ALL Americans.

I don’t see the revolution in any of these requests. Sound like a very weak list of demands. BLM is the “MLK” in this situation. There are alternative organizations that are far from reformist. I haven’t seen this list of demands though. I looked through the website, but maybe I just missed it.

Shreveport is one of the eleven cities selected to test UBI (Universal basic income), along with Los Angeles and Atlanta.

"The mayors of Los Angeles; Oakland, California; Atlanta, Georgia; Tacoma, Washington, Newark, New Jersey; Saint Paul, Minnesota; Jackson, Mississippi; Compton, California; Shreveport, Louisiana and Stockton, California, have joined Mayors For A Guaranteed Income, a coalition advocating for UBI policies, or the idea of giving out recurring cash payments to all individuals without any strings attached."

This is proposed for all Americans, as well. Automation is eliminating jobs at record levels and this is a proposed solution for lowering poverty.
