Why is it that we give the police department nearly 1/6 of our city budget and then they overspend and ask for more?
Why is it that the police are able to spend what they want while our schools and neighborhoods beg for scraps?
We need to correct this power imbalance.
Anya Hill, 6th grader, is speaking at the #FOP hearings and asking that some of the $760 Million given to the police in Philadelphia be invested in communities instead #StopTheFOP
The problem is beyond 'who are the arbitrators'.The problem is that FOP holds the powerand gets the final say. The murder and violence perpetrated by the police should not go to arbitration. It should be dealt with appropriately, and immediately. #StopTheFOP
A gang of 76% white dudes called Triple A arbitration gives the FOP across the country gigantic budgets and total impunity to perpetuate racist violence #StopTheFOP@PhillySocFem@LILACPhilly
Listen in if you can. #StopTheFOP@HelenGymPHL shifts focus from the idea that we need to focus on changing Act 111 and says instead we can focus on increasing our local power of arbitrating different decisions regarding misconduct from cops than those decided by cops themselves.
Join us Wednesday morning to Stop the FOP! City Council is holding a hearing about the police contract and Lilac invites you to watch along with us on Twitch. We will discuss what's going on over text chat in our Twitch stream.

Philadelphia school district is going to receive $100 M ($10M/year)! Even better would be for this to not be announced as a 'generous' gift, but a response to mobilization from @pennforpilots, @OCOSphl + others. Better still, pay the taxes for the past 20 yrs + future years
The proof that 1)yes they can easily afford and 2) organizing is how we get our rights. This is not even enough for 20 years of negligence but it's start and it came from organizing ✊
