Thank you for lending your energy and time in such a critical moment in time. With the budget up for approval this Wednesday at the SSF City Council Meeting, we want to put as much pressure on SSF city officials to reallocate funding for the police and place those funds in programs that ore effectively address mental health, substance abuse, education, housing, jobs, and childcare. Our communities are being overpoliced and Black and Brown people are being killed, bratualized, and incarcerated on a regular basis. Below are ways that you can support this needed change in public health and safety:
Be sure indicate that your comment is in regards to the the budget by writing “agenda item 11” or “agenda item 11 budget” for the email subject line.
Template/Sample emails for you to adapt are available to use in the link below. Personalized emails are encouraged. If possible, state your relationship to SSF (worker, students, resident, mental health worker, etc.)
Send your email before 5pm on 6/24/20. If you can’t meet the deadline, send your email afterwards is fine as well. It still might be read by the council before their vote.
