They're telling anyone who'll listen that the City Council already defunded the police (when it was the mayor, and they know that)
They are using the death of a young Black man to make the case for even more policing.

We can't emphasize enough how critical it is to pushback on these lies.

We need your helo.
Please call in to the council meeting tomorrow to reject the lies from people who say more police will keep us safe.
The data is clear: it doesn't work that way.
We MUST change course. We must invest in people.
Call in and ask the Council invest in people.

For today: call your council member. Tell them we must we can't keep throwing good money after failed policy. Tell them to keep their promise to our community, reimagine public safety, and reject @lorenmtaylor’s proposal to fund a new cop academy w/ our Covid relief dollars.
