I am writing to demand that the City Council adopts a <br />peoples budget that prioritizes community wellbeing and redirects funding away from the police department to much - <br />needed social services. <br />This past week, our nation has been gripped by protests calling for a rapid and meaningful reconsideration of the role of <br />policing in communities, in addition to an end to racism and anti -Blackness in America. It has come to my attention that <br />the city government, like many others across the country, is struggling to balance budgets in the midst of the <br />coronavirus pandemic. <br />
