Redirect funds from law enforcement agencies to community-based programs for harm prevention, intervention, and transformative justice

Stop and reverse militarization of law enforcement

Eliminate legislative and union contract provisions that shield the police from accountability

Declare records of all investigations of law enforcement brutality with associated materials as public property and ensure public accessibility

Immediately end the violence against protestors. We stand in solidarity with them!
