We know that the city manager is the one who actually has the power to fire the officers. She can do this today. But when the mayor calls for it and the rest of city council is silent, it's very telling. Your silence speaks volumes.

The biggest demand of Manuel Ellis' family is that the officers are fired, arrested, and charged with his murder.
The city manger has the power to fire them.

[Tacoma Action Collective @tacoma_action]

This action is important. The city manager can fire the officers. We need our city council to put forward a motion to vote on it. Let them know you want them FIRED NOW.

[Tacoma Action Collective @tacoma_action]

White people:
We gotta talk about burn out. You aren’t conditioned to be thinking about race this much because of your privilege. We need you to do all you’re doing today, tomorrow, and until the end of time.

Let’s talk about ways to focus on current & systemic change.
