R

Reduce MPD’s budget by 50% over the next 3 years

Divert the $500+ million that MPD gets every year for salaries, overtime & misconduct lawsuits to fight poverty, homelessness, and gun violence.

E

Educate with care and compassion

Our kids are being criminalized for just being kids. Let’s take cops out of schools to fund teachers, counselors & trauma-informed support.

F

Fund our communities

Invest in health, housing, social services, and reparations to address the root causes of violence. Lift up DC’s working-class and low-income communities to make us all safer.

U

Unify DC with real public safety

Build real safety with non-police 911 responders, and expand violence interruption and harm reduction programs. Decriminalize homelessness, drug use, street vending, sex work, and other means of survival.

N

Non-violence in all public services

Ban violent and illegal police tactics, like stop-and-frisk, jump-outs, and chemical weapons. Remove cops from traffic & health emergencies.

D

Demand brave leadership

DC Council must vote “No” on all MPD budget increases, give communities a seat at the table, and implement our proposals, many of which are supported by DC Council’s Police Reform Commission and Jails & Justice Task Force.
