@MayorBowser’s current FY21 budget proposal allocates an additional $18.5 million to MPD. Imagine how much $18.5 million could do for housing, healthcare, food access, transportation, youth programs, and schools for our communities. #DefundDCpolice
Remove police, surveillance tech, and detectors from DC schools. Black students are continuously targeted and criminalized. Sign this petition from @BlackSwanAcad to get police out of our schools! https://t.co/DyGwY087Xs @MayorBowser@charlesallen
DC, tonight MPD cops under the authority of @ChiefNewsham and @MayorBowser unleashed tear gas into a private home that took in dozens of protesters after they were cornered off for arrests in a neighborhood.
This is an absolutely disgusting abuse of power by @DCPoliceDept.
@MayorBowser@ChiefNewsham@charlesallen@SafeDC it is absolutely immoral and wrong to trap protestors to keep them past curfew and expose them to even more excessive force. Let your citizens go. Now.
You cannot disentangle the colonization experienced by indigenous ppl from the racism experienced by black ppl from the xenophobia experienced by latinx ppl from the imperialism experienced by palestinians.
They’re all different extensions of the same oppressive project.
