    I strongly oppose the new MOU. The community wants and deserves nothing that gives more money to cops, absolutely no negotiations behind closed doors, transparency and accountability, and NOTHING that gives PLEA more control!

    The same police union that uses social media to harass and intimidate racial justice activists is negotiating a new contract to increase police power and decrease public transparency and accountability. This is unacceptable! Make all negotiations public and live stream them with space for public comments so the people of the city can participate.

    Our city has been calling out for the reallocation of funds to our communities, for mental health services, for assistance to our houseless residents. NOT more money to the police. An increased budget for PLEA is an assault on the people of Phoenix and we deserve better. No closed-door negotiations. City Council needs to be accountable and transparent in the allocation of money that impacts our daily lives.

    I am in strong opposition. We have one of the most violent forces in the nation. Reallocate funding to actually support our community. No closed door decisions should be made regarding funding for the police. We are your constituents. We deserve safety. The Phoenix PD’s violence in our community is unacceptable.

    Council, it is completely unacceptable that PLEA is working behind closed doors to gain access to even MORE power and LESS accountability for their 2021-2023 MOU. The changes made to critical incidents, access to body cam footage and extra time before being interviewed are absolutely chilling. Who is being protected and served here? The people of Phoenix have been asking for accountability and transparency for decades. It is time for you all to show up and reimagine with us, not against us.

    PLEA has gone unchallenged by city council for far too long, and it needs to stop now. The community has demanded transparency and to stop pledging more resources to killer cops. Listen to them.

    City of Phoenix should not approve anything that provides more dollars to PLEA. The city and its residents need accountability and transparency from law enforcement, not more protections. Additionally, any negotiations should be public. Take any additional funds for PLEA and reinvest in the community.

    No more negotiations behind closed doors! Our community deserves to be part of these conversations, our community does not need more money for cops! What we need is an investment in Us! We need it for services and resources, things that make us better. We don’t need more cops, they do harm to our community and the people need transparency about what their intentions are. Nothing that gives PLEA more control!

    Phoenix PD does not need more money, we need more transparency and accountability from our PD and investments in our community.
