Detailed message concerning the budgeting decisions at stake in your community:
To Whom It May Concern,
My name is [YOUR NAME] and I am a resident of San Mateo county writing to urge you to defund the San Mateo Police Department.
SMPD takes an enormous share of the city’s general fund, and that percentage has only risen over the last two decades, taking away desperately needed resources from essential city programs and services. The investment in policing has not made us safer – SMPD is a lethal threat to San Mateo's Black and Brown communities, while increased police spending shows no correlation to decreasing crime levels over the past 20 years. With San Mateo's current finances in dire jeopardy due to the COVID-19 financial crisis, it is clear that we must defund the police.
As San Mateo residents, we therefore demand that you take immediate action to ensure the following:
We are amplifying calls to defund the police, not reform them. I urge you to advocate for a meaningful reallocation of the city's expenditures: away from policing, and towards social programs and resources that support housing, jobs, education, health care, child care, and other critical community needs.
San Mateo cannot wait any longer for a budget that meets the needs of its residents. The only way to achieve this is to take immediate steps to Defund SMPD.
Thank you,
[YOUR NAME] [YOUR ADDRESS] [YOUR EMAIL] [YOUR PHONE NUMBER]
