hi - here's a part of my personal journey towards abolition. When people say that we dont care about violence and survivors, they forget that we are survivors of violence, too. This story means a lot to me, the most actually.

In honor of the legacy of community member Margy Wilkinson, join Berkeley United 4 Community Safety and @FOASouthBerk tonight for a (social distanced) rally for a just budget: one that defunds the police and reinvests in real community safety. 5:30pm, Berkeley Civic Center.

@berkeleyside published my tribute to Margy Wilkinson, who died suddenly this weekend.
She was the type of person who gives you some faith in a terrible world because at least it made her to make it better: https://t.co/eApUdde2XT

City council will be voting on the 2021 budget TONIGHT 6pm. Show up to tell our elected officials we will not accept a budget that does not include ~at the minimum~ a 50% cut to Berkeley PD and a substantial reinvestment in non-carceral health affirming services

[Berkeley Free Clinic Outreach @BFCoutreach]

ACTION ALERT ⚡️⚡️⚡️ Help defund Berkeley police!

Councilmember Davila has submitted an item that would cut BPD's budget by 50% and divert millions of dollars to alternatives to policing and community resources.

[Defund Berkeley PD @DefundBPD]

A few questions to consider for tonight's public comment:

[Defund Berkeley PD @DefundBPD]

City Council Meeting TONIGHT 6PM! City officials have started making vague commitments to "reenvisioning public safety" in Berkeley. Any plan around public safety must include steep cuts to BPD and real investments in health-affirming services. Zoom ID 810 1837 8132.

[Defund Berkeley PD @DefundBPD]

Organizers are asking allies to make space for those most impacted by policing and cuts to vital city services to speak tonight.
