Our city has a police budget of over a billion dollars. I work in mental health and I can tell you how badly we need that kind of money, and how much safer we could make our communities with the right services in place. Defunding the police is the only way to move forward.
You can read more about the defund movement in Canada here, or in the US here. Also a small suggestion, I emailed my city this week to advocate for defunding and reallocation of funds was they negotiate the police budget, maybe you could email your city officials too? Emails from voters matter, it doesn’t matter if your message is perfect, bringing up the issue shows it’s important to residents and puts pressure on decision makers.
