Taking action against police brutality & racial injustice in Austin, Texas.

What’s going on with items 32-36 on this Thursday’s #Austin City Council agenda? Looks like state funding *increases* to APD programs? Didn’t the Council vote in favor of @GregCasar ammendments that move to separate programs like these from APD?

200 out of the 286 speakers that we managed to note asked for the minimum $100 million APD budget cut proposed by @AtxJustice at city council today #reimaginejustice

[AustinActionAllies @ATXactionallies]

Contact your city council reps and tell them this budget is unacceptable!

[Austin Justice Coalition @ATXJustice]

The $11.3 M figure was a reduction from a previously planned increase to the APD budget. But when you look at what the budget was last year compared to what the proposed budget is for 2021, it's only an actual decrease of $150,928, which amounts to .03 percent of APD's budget.

One more addition - if you are curious what I mean when I say Save Austin Now is lying to voters & being abusive, please read this post from the woman who was my communications director: https://t.co/kpQ9qVab14

[Heidi Sloan @HeidiSloanForTX]

Save Austin Now is an anti-homeless hate group lying to voters & abusing our friends who advocate against them. If you signed their petition & wish to remove your name, you can email SAN & the City Clerk and ask them to remove your name. See thread for contact info. 1/3
