With Veto-Proof Majority, Seattle City Council Pledges to Defund Police by 50% In Washington state, a veto-proof majority of the Seattle City Council has backed a proposal to slash the Seattle Police Department’s budget by 50%. Seattle’s mayor and police chief have opposed the move to defund the police.

TONIGHT!

In honor of the work and legacy of community member Margy Wilkinson, join Berkeley United for Community Safety and Friends Of Adeline as we rally together before tonight’s city council meeting for a just budget: a budget that reflects our community’s demand to defund the police and invest in real community safety. Meet at 5:30pm at the Berkeley Civic Center (2180 Milvia St).

[URGENT ACTION ALERT]

TODAY 6/29 at 2:30pm the Berkeley City Council Agenda & Rules Committee will have a special meeting!

Councilmember Davila has submitted an item that would cut BPD's budget by 50% and divert millions of dollars to alternatives to policing and community resources. The committee must choose to send the item to the Council agenda (rather than to policy committee or back to Councilmember Davila) for it to be voted on.

Please submit a public comment, or email councilmembers directly, on or before Monday urging them to send the item to the City Council's agenda.
