A detailed message concerning the budgeting decisions that are at stake in your community
"To whom it may concern,
My name is [NAME], and I am a resident of [CITY, STATE]. Mayor Kenney’s proposed Philadelphia budget for fiscal year 2021 has proposed a $14 billion increase for the Philadelphia police department during a time of economic strife and while other essential social budgets that support the community are being slashed: for example, budgets for library, homeless services, Parks and Recreation, and public health (during the global COVID-19 pandemic!) are all being slashed and the city is eliminating its budget for arts and culture entirely.
I urge you to consider pressuring the office of the mayor towards an ethical and equal reallocation of the Philadelphia expense budget, away from PPD, and towards social services and education programs, effective at the beginning of FY 21.
I am emailing to ask city officials to please reject any proposed budget that increases taxpayer spending on police while cutting funding for important social and community projects. I am asking that city officials lobby the same amount of attention and effort towards finding sustainable, long term change.
