Some important info for open records requesters: We got this open records request back REAAAALLLY fast.

We asked for daily rosters for 5 years (monthly basis for 1st and 15) and they gave us the first installment in a week
The lesson? Tailor your requests as specifically as possible to minimize the work on their end.

If the request is too complex, they can legitimately argue in court if challenged that they need substantial time to address it.

Just want to update everyone on what went down and where we are. (THREAD)

We met with @SeattleFdn's CEO @tgmestres, Equity Advisor Alice Ito, Board Member and UW Dean of Undergrad Academic Affairs Ed Taylor, and several other employees of the foundation to present our demands, which are listed below:

2/21
1.) Divestment and reparation - Halt grants to the Seattle Police Foundation and invest $1.5m (2x the total amount granted to SPF) in repairing the harm caused by SPD, with a specific emphasis on funding community-led policing alternatives.

ICYMI: Safe Seattle accused us of trying to do a Hitler on the cops

We've been caught. They got us dead to rights.

Our event was originally titled "Cut the Tall Trees" but we thought "No Charity for Cops" would be subtler.

Don't want to dwell on this too much. Generally speaking, one shouldn't let hateful trolls occupy too much of your time.

OTOH, SS is a good stand-in for the Defund movement's opposition as a whole, & there is value in understanding your opponents.

First off, trivializing the Holocaust by making frivolous comparisons is antisemitism. Full stop.

Beyond that, the perpetrators of most ethnic & political mass murders throughout history portrayed their acts as pre-emptive:

Safe Seattle is claiming our rally against the police foundation is a precursor to anti-cop genocide. Image
Saying we're trying to "dehumanize" the police.

Another precursor to genocide is demonization ... like comparing your enemies to Nazi mass murderers Image

@SeattleFdn has awarded $635k in grants to evangelical groups that promote a homophobic, anti-science and anti-choice agenda.

(THREAD)

(1/10) Image
Yesterday, we talked about SF’s grants to libertarian think tanks. They also have given hundreds of thousands over the last decade to evangelical groups with far-right interests and funding sources that overlap with those think tanks.

Since 2014, @SeattleFdn has awarded $172k in grants to the Seattle-based Discovery Institute. One of the main advocates for intelligent design, DI has pushed for creationism to be taught alongside evolution. Its main funding source is the Koch-linked org DonorsTrust
