Local governments should…

Issue: The Police
Over the past 12 months, the police have killed over 1,039 civilians, all while community first response programs (like those in Denver and Albuquerque) are saving lives and creating jobs. 65% of people support changes to non-violent emergency responses and crisis interventions to have community services as first responders instead of the police. So why is Biden giving more money to the police?
Congress should…
Stop giving them more money, which they keep doing. Instead, make more money available for local governments to invest in community first responses.
