The proposed $218 million contract for Austin Police won’t make Austin safer. In fact, the data shows violent crime has decreased nearly 10% in the past year. Austin’s true safety needs lie in affordable housing, economic stability, and community resources—not more policing. We’re joining forces with @ATXJustice to push back against this funding expansion. Austin deserves better solutions.

"Justice demands integrity. It’s to have a moral universe — not only know what is right or wrong but to put things in perspective, weigh things. Justice is different from violence and retribution; it requires complex accounting." - Bell Hooks

A man’s tears speak volumes‼️ #GazaGenocide

Someone on private already pointed this out, but: does this look like an underfunded police department to you? What’s happening in the rest of the city while a couple hundred college students peacefully protest? 911 call response was taking like an hour just last year.

Why are universities investing in weapons manufacturing? Is a question we should all be asking.
