We are thrilled and stunned by the verdict but we want people to be clear we haven’t solved white supremacy and anti Blackness. The people must know that it was the people who got this conviction. We know that when we organize, we win, and today is proof of that.
Some thoughts...
This decision gives momentum to people to keep organizing, it gives us a boost of energy at a time when we’re seeing a bloodbath at the hands of law enforcement at Contra Costa country.
There is a danger that folks will think the courts will take care of us. The exact opposite is true. The State wants us to do just that, to go home. To think they got this & that our people will be safe. The reality is that every day the cops kill Black and Brown people.

starting this in a few, join us on @joinClubhouse
We're live now.

James Burch, APTP policy director is on with @CatsCommentary, APTP co founder, and @ChaneyTurner. The purpose of the convo is to reimagine public safety and defund OPD.

Cat Brooks is now breaking down what @MHFirstOak is...
Cat just gave an overview of how we got MACRO in Oakland. It started w/APTP’s own project @MHFirstOak. We started this because we want to be visionary, not reactionary. We had a convo about how we can reduce police terror. Police didn’t always used to be the answer to everything.

"We've been trying to get this data for years. It's been incredibly hard to get it from the police dept. Fortunately for us, the task force provided a vehicle even though OPD dragged their feet, the city dragged their feet..." - James Burch, policy director APTP
"To understand the data we hired 2 crime analytics experts from New Orleans, they analyzed the calls OPD received. It's been a real struggle to bring this clarity to the people, and i'm relieved we can bring this info to the public." - James Burch live now on @UpfrontKPFA
"Cops are our most expensive civil servant by leaps and bounds. It's completely unnecessary to be sending law enforcement officers for the vast majority of these calls."

NEW: Today we are publishing an analysis of 442,812 calls to the Oakland Police Department in 2019. The analysis found only 4% of calls to police are for violent crime, and that 1% of police calls take up 57% of police time (based on their own record keeping).

Let's dig in. 🤓
The data is published in a report we submitted responding to the final recommendations issued by Oakland’s Reimagining Public Safety Task Force. The Task Force was set up because we've called to #DefundOPD for 5 years & YOU took to the streets last summer.

Last summer the NYT asked: "How do police actually spend their time?"

We realized in Oakland we didn't know how the Police, who cost us half our city budget(!), actually spend their time.

#WeKeepUsSafe
In response to recent violence in Chinatown, we join community leaders who are advocating for a properly funded community ambassador program, as it is severely underfunded. This would allow trusted community members to work full-time to make sure EVERYONE feels safe & supported.
