DEFUND PPD! NO 75 new civilian positions for PPD
Move $10 million from the PD “crime suppression squad”
COVID relief for the people, not PD
$15 million from PD to pay for new crisis response program
We demand funding for:
Free transportation
Rehabilitation services and a center in West Phoenix
Low barrier shelter/ housing support
Reparations / direct redistribution of resources
Green New Deal / Climate Justice
REJECT this budget til the process for MOU negotiations becomes fully public
I support the New Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the City Manager's Office. I want the City of Phoenix to fund the Neighborhood Organized Crisis Assistance Program to establish an official first responder department separate from the police department for noncriminal and nonviolent dispatches.
The whole country has heard about how well the mental health teams instead of police responding to crises in Denver worked. We can make that a reality in Phoenix too. Invest in NOCAP. Investing in these programs will allow for space to divest from police because they will be going on less calls. As someone who has worked in the mental health field for over four years, I have many stories of police mishandling my clients and causing them more trauma leading them on an endless cycle. We need NOCAP
I demand that the city establish a crisis assistance program that is fully funded, independent of law enforcement and has direct community oversight. We don’t need to fund further police violence making them think they are above the law.
Please support a crisis assistance program that meets the NOCAP demands. It is the only humane option in this scenario that could lead to an equitable future for all.
The budget for policing should be focused not on hiring more officers with more guns, but in hiring behavioral and emotional health experts who can de-escalate situations with a partner. The culture of the department should be honestly evaluated by a third party and issues of micro-aggression and the criminalization of black and brown people should be addressed honestly.
Please listen to our cries. We cannot support this budget because it adds more money to police. We are begging you to reallocate those funds to shelter our homeless neighbors, or a critical response team that is NOT police for mental health calls. NO MORE MONEY FOR POLICE. NO MORE STREET SWEEPS.
Oppose. Phoenix needs to establish a crisis assistance program that is fully-funded, independent of law enforcement, has direct community oversight, and features first responders trained in de-escalation and identifying mental/behavioral health problem. It is essential that the Phoenix City Council support a crisis assistance program that meets the NOCAP demands, in order to meet the needs of the diverse inhabitants of Phoenix and the surrounding communities.
As a resident of district 4, I want to demand that we stop investing more than half of our tax money into police. Police who have time and time again showed us how violent and murdering they are. Police are rooted in anti-black, racist culture and do NOT deserve to be the ones to decide whether I live or die. I need you all to divest from police and invest in free transportation for youth, parents, rehab, and housing/shelter support
As a resident of d7 and student of d5, I want to demand that you all divest from police and invest in free public transportation, a bus only lane, rehab/mental services, and housing/shelter support. This is my tax money! & I dont want more than half of my money to go to a police that will take away my black and brown sisters and brothers
Oppose. Instead we need to establish a crisis assistance program that is fully-funded independent of law enforcement, and has direct community oversight.

I strongly oppose this. We need the city to establish a crisis assistance program that is fully funded, independent of law enforcement, and has direct community oversight. People struggling with mental health are 16x more likely to be killed by police, and a better crisis assistance program can and will save lives.
I oppose this as I believe we need more mental health and crisis assistance specialists. As a professional in conflict resolution and mental health, I am appalled since moving here from Colorado to see the lack of mental health support in both the educational and public systems. We need people who know how to de escalate and provide services that police cannot. I wrote this desiring to have more funds placed towards a crisis assistance program instead.
