It's budget season #STL! Year after year, our city's budget speaks volumes about our priorities, & it's clear: it favors police over everything else. Let's change that. Join us Thursday, May 2nd, 6-8pm at Deaconess Center for our May Movement Meeting: bit.ly/DRT2024Events
American Cops are so flippin’ aggressive for no justifiable reason. I’ve been doing this work for years now, have read thousands of cases filed against police for excessive use of force and it still triggers me every time.

We pay money for cops to beat up protesters who are angry about the money we pay to commit genocide, but we can't afford healthcare.

The cops just keep giving more ammunition to plug and support @DefundSLMPD. They should not have free rein, unlimited funds, and support from our largest institutions to treat us like this. #defund #drt

This school is 7 miles from Ferguson. Some of these cops probably brutalized people then, and they love doing it just as much now. This is why it’s defund and abolish. Now.

this illustrates why the argument of “a few bad apples” is a fundamentally bad frame to explain police brutality. there’s no individual enacting violence here. what we see are powerful institutions manufacturing a (non-existent) threat to rationalize mass violence on its own ppl.

It’s feeling more and more like this is our last chance to organize and push back on state/police power before it’s just too late

Who is the threat to public safety here? It's not the people sitting or standing peacefully speaking out against a genocide and their government and university's complicity in slaughtering Palestinians.

The protestors aren't violent. The police are. This is horrible.

I’ve been to a lot of protests over my lifetime. This was one of the most excessive uses of force I’ve ever seen. Six police departments responded to students chanting because they want the genocide in Gaza to stop and the university to divest from those supporting the war.

We spend over 200M on SLMPD every year, and this is how it's used. If you're ready to do something about it, join @DefundSLMPD this Thursday, May 2, at Deaconess from 6-8 pm for the Monthly Movement Meeting. Also...Wash U doesn't pay taxes, so they didn't pay for this, we did.

The Defund- Re-envision. Transform. coalition works to divest from policing & incarceration & invest in what actually keeps us safe, e.g. health, social services, education, childcare, housing, transportation & more! Follow @DefundSLMPD, we're planning big things next year ✨
in honor of this most recent abuse of power by st. louis police where they drove into an lgbtq bar and then arrested the bar owner, i present to you my personal top 3 stl cop moments from the past decade in the thread below:
I helped 17 Black people in STL get out of jail this year. I helped 6 of them avoid prison time (most folks still have open cases). I’m dreaming of a safer St. Louis and it starts with restorative justice.
Just to clarify, violent "crime" is at its lowest level in years, but we urgently need to: pretend there's a police staffing crisis; issue more warrants & arrest more ppl (BC KIM GARDNER!); & fill a jail w/ more reports of scandal & death by the day? Hmm stltoday.com/news/local/cri…

I got my bivalent COVID-19 booster shot this morning at CVS. There are plenty of appointments available. I was in and out in 10 minutes. Easy peasy. Get out there, #STL!
Honored to join @ActionSTL and @DefundSLMPD speak to the St. Louis Board of Estimate and Apportionment this morning on the need to defund St. Louis' especially bloated and violent police department and use it fund housing and healthcare. My full statement below.
What an incredible organizing achievement! So many people showed on to #STLFY2023Budget hearing to talk about the need to @DefundSLMPD and invest in vitally needed services to create real safety. Not one showed up to speak against it. Congrats to @ActionSTL and others!
@FCCStLouis @EmmaCrockerDNP @DefundSLMPD This was such a great hearing. I really enjoyed joining a near unanimous crowd calling for changing the City’s priorities away from violence and towards care.
@the_jessicarae More direct cash payments, funding meaningful scale pilots of alternative to policing programs under leadership of existing grass roots campaigns eg @DefundSLMPD
We are so excited to dream, make real, and advocate for a world that uses strategies to address harm in #STL without the brutal force of policing and incarceration. Together we will win. @ActionSTL @ArchCityDefense @CAPCRstl @StlChange.
Defund. Re-envision. Transform. Campaign welcomes its 5th anchor organization,@FCCStLouis.
And it works! The Comptroller just said she supports reducing funding for vacant SLMPD positions and increasing Affordable Housing Trust Fund funding 🎉🎉🎉
Also thank you to the organizers of @DefundSLMPD @CLOSEWorkhouse @CAPCRstl and all the other groups involved in these efforts. As the E&A Board pointed out, the public participation was huge and that’s because of organizers who mobilize and educate us!
