VFTFL Monica Garcia Melina Abdullah Channing - Brigette - 6.23.20

We are very enthusiastic that LAUSD School Board member Monica Garcia will introduce a motion at the 2020 Budget Vote to cut the LASPD budget by 50%—$35 million from their $67 million budget Please work with Black Lives Matter, Students Deserve, Brothers Sons Selves, Inner City Struggle, and yes, the Strategy Center To get the LAUSD tomorrow to cut $35 million from their $67 million or more budget and move those funds to Black students and schools. This is not just about cutting their budget, it is cutting their power in more than half, a massive vote of no confidence in the LASPD, a massive victory for the Black Liberation Movement, For the Black, Latinx, and third World Alliance. We want more than taking Aunt Jemima off the box. We don’t care that Amazon now says Black Lives Matter next to an ad for Amazon Prime. We want to Defund Police, Defund the LASPD now. -------------------- Here is how you can help Call in at 8:30am to make a Public Comment Call 1-669-900-6833 and enter Meeting ID 981 7435 3474 from their telephone keypad.
