Hi, thanks for your interest in adding your city to the website. Emails on defund12.org are all written by community members. To add your city, you must provide:
Helen.Moise@arlingtontx.gov ; Sheri.Capehart@arlingtontx.gov ; marvin.sutton@arlingtontx.gov ; andrew.piel@arlingtontx.gov ; Ignacio.Nunez@arlingtontx.gov ; Barbara.Odom-Wesley@arlingtontx.gov ; Jeff.Williams@arlingtontx.gov
We call on localities and elected officials across the country to divest resources away from policing in local budgets and reallocate those resources to the healthcare, housing and education our people deserve. More officers, guns, jails and prisons are not a solution to longstanding problems of racial disparities, injustice and police violence. We demand police free schools across the country and an end to the use of police officers in public universities. All public Institutions designed to serve the people, must cut ties with the police in the interest of public safety.
Until you provide this content, we cannot post your city.
Messages should follow our email style guidelines. Remember that messages must be specific to your locale and focused on defunding the police. If your message is copied from an external source, please provide a link to the original source.
