Last week, @soultypechild, @spekulation and I launched the effort to urge City Council to subpoena Seattle PD union president Mike Solan.

100s of Seattleites have contacted the Office of Civil Rights with that demand.

Here's an update on the progress of #SubpoenaSolan:

There's been an outcry police accountability after several Seattle PD officers participated in the coup attempt of January 6th.

We discussed the demands of the #SubpoenaSolan campaign on Tuesday with @Omarisal (13-minute mark):

Also on Tuesday, the Seattle Human Rights LGBTQ Commissions sided with the community demands you reached out to the Office of Civil Rights with.

This is a huge step, and a sign that your e-mails and phone calls are working.

.@soultypechild and I had an encouraging meeting with the Human Rights Commission on Thursday.

They committed to making the #SubpoenaSolan demands a priority in their interactions with Seattle elected officials. They're prepared to escalate if requisite action isn't taken.

With help from City Councilmember Tammy Morales, we were contacted by the Seattle Office of Civil Rights.

We're still determining the most transparent way to interact with the office. In the mean time, let's continue applying pressure. Here's how:

There will be resistance. Seattle PD isn't used to being challenged, and already there are signs that they're going on the offensive in response to #SubpoenaSolan.

This week, their union president invited fascist sympathizer Andy Ngo on his podcast.

But we can't be deterred. Yesterday it broke that yet another Seattle PD officer participated in the coup attempt on January 6th, bringing the total to six.

At the heart of the #SubpoenaSolan campaign is one question: where will accountability come from?

We're calling on the Seattle Office of Civil Rights to ask that City Council subpoena Seattle police union president Mike Solan. We need a deeper look into the white supremacist culture in the city's police department than any of our 3 police accountability bureaus can provide.

With the city set to begin negotiating the police union contract, we can't let this go.

Add your voice to the #SubpoenaSolan coalition today and let's bring true police accountability to Seattle.

Here's how you can do your part today👇🏾
