The Phoenix police department should be defunded and investigated for violating the civil and human rights of peaceful protesters and residents of the Garfield neighborhood on the evening of May 31, 2020. And for the death of Dion Johnson on May 25, 2020. Chief Jeri Williams should be dismissed and investigated for covering up these violations. Thank you.
I urge you to defund the police. The $994,680,555 allocated to our public safety department for the 2020-21 fiscal year needs to be re-allocated to community development and enrichment. This includes healthcare, mental healthcare, education, after-school care, housing, and employment opportunities. We build strength through community, not through further oppressing our communities. This is an opportunity to create reform that impacts our lives in a positive way.
A law enforcement department that is not held accountable for their own criminal behavior SHOULD not be further funded until every officer is held accountable AND a redesigning of the requirements AND training to become an officer occurs.
It is time for the budget to reflect and prioritize the well-being of the BIPOC community in Phoenix. The City Council must demonstrate to our community a commitment to end the abuses and brutality by the police department. I urge the City Council to allocate a minimum of $3 million to the Office of Accountability and Transparency and Civilian Review Board in the 2020-2021 budget.
Please reconsider the proposed 944,680,555 allocated to our public safety department for the fiscal year of 2020-21. Our community asks that you Redirect funds to programs that heal and educate our community, increase the proposed 24,760,742 and 26,837,014 budgets for community development and community enrichment.
I have chosen to use the support of another organization for the correct words. Please do not let our community down in a time of need.
According to p. 14 of the Proposed Budget for 2020-21, Phoenix Police have been allocated $745,289,000 for expenditures. Given the lack of oversight in relation to Dion Johnson's murder and countless other crimes committed by police officers, I demand a defunding of the police department. Acknowledge that there is an issue, and that this money can be spent helping your city rebuild itself post pandemic.
I strongly urge you to reconsider the proposed $944,680,555 allocated to our public safety department for the 2020-21 fiscal year. Our community asks that you redirect funds to programs that heal and educate our community. I implore that you increase the proposed $24,760,742 and $26,837,014 budgets for community development and enrichment with this money instead. The Phoenix Police Department is statistically ranked highest in the country for cases of police killing civilians. We deserve better!
Hello, as a citizen of the Maricopa county and the city of Phoenix, I am asking for the proposed combined police budget/public safety of $994 million to be redirected instead to funding public housing, education, transportation, and health services. I also urge the council to increase the budget for community enrichment, community development, and environmental services. The budget should aim to help increase employment opportunities that are unrelated to the penitentiaries.
Re-allocate the proposed $944,680,555 to our public safety department for the 2020-21 fiscal year. Instead, increase the proposed $24,760,742 and $26,837,014 budgets for community development and community enrichment. Phoenix needs policing alternatives and investments in mental health/trauma services, education/after-school care, housing, healthcare, & employment opportunities. Defund the Phoenix PD and allocate 2020-21 city funds to policies and programs that will create a safe community.
I am contacting you to reconsider the proposed $994,680,555 allocated to our public safety department for the 2020-21 fiscal year. Our community asks that you redirect funds to programs that heal and educate our community. Increase the proposed $24,760,742 and $26,837,014 budgets for community development and community enrichment. The city of Phoenix needs and deserves policing alternatives and investments in mental health and trauma.

Divest from state sanctioned violence. Instead of using nearly a billion dollars to bolster the most lethal police force on US soil, use the money to develop communities, enriching and educating the people living within them. This community cannot handle any more bloodshed. As long as any one of our citizens lives in fear, we all do.
To make our communities safer, we need to invest in education, infrastructure, parks and libraries, enrichment and resources for at-risk neighborhoods. We also need to prioritize sustainability, as we are already seeing the effects of climate change. We need to spend smarter, not harder, on police. More weapons and tactical gear in the hands of officers will not improve the most important aspect of public safety, which is community. We should not fund the police until they show accountability.
Please reallocate the funding from the police department back to services that make a positive impact on our community such as education, public transportation, and community enrichment. For the funds that are allocated to the police, please spend them wisely on deescalation training which is clearly needed. Police who are not held accountable for their actions and who refuse to provide body camera footage should not be funded.
I strong urge city counsel to remove the $944 Million proposed to fund the police department. The city of Phoenix has one of the most dangerous and deadly police forces in the country, while our public schools are ranked in the bottom 3 nationally. This money can be used to provide PPE to nurses dealing with the ongoing pandemic, to schools, and to other community organizations that actually help our community instead of destroying it.
I strongly urge you to defund Phoenix police now. Instead, redirect those funds to organizations that heal, empower, and educate our communities. The City of Phoenix needs and deserves policing alternatives.
The Phoenix police department needs to be demilitarized and defunded. They don’t need more funds to wage war on Phoenix citizens. Reallocate the funds to services that actually help and build up the community.
As a Phoenix tax payer I urge you to DEFUND POLICE NOW. PHXPD is the most lethal in the nation, does not face consequences, increasing their budget during a pandemic is not the answer.
We still don’t have bodycams of Dion Johnson’s shooting while he slept in his car. Why PHXPD was so violent with peaceful protestors. WHY DID POLICE HAVE MORE PPE than nurses and doctors? Take a stand a defund police now. I urge you to have a conscience, do the right thing for our communities and defund police
I urge the City of Phoenix to reconsider the proposed $944,680,555 allocated to the Public Safety Department for the 2020-2021 fiscal year. Instead direct these funds to programs and organizations that heal, educate and empower our communities. We need to defund the Phoenix Police Department, abolish its presence in the city and cut ties with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Hold the murderers of Dion Johnson accountable for their crime and abolish the system that allowed this to happen.
