We demand that the City of Seattle prioritize the health, power, and future of our communities by divesting from policing and prisons. #BlocktheBunker

We know we're in a police state b/c educators, hospital workers, social workers, shelter staff, farmers, caregivers and artists would fall out dead from shock if they were valued that way.

The Seattle City Council passed a non binding police accountability wish list in 2017, but they sold it as a solution. Today, they ought to own up to that and stop acting surprised that community feels betrayed.

.@MayorJenny increased Seattle’s budget by $300 million and only allocated $2 million of that towards homelessness services? Her office says we have a homelessness crises but only less than .06% of new spending reflects that.

Her budget also hires 40 new cops. #SEAthefuture

I've seen a bunch of people sharing the new lip-sync video the Seattle Police Dept just released to Macklemore's song, "Downtown." I watched it, but it didn't really square with my experiences with SPD downtown, so I fixed it.
