This week, the Pittsfield City Council has been deliberating on the budget for FY 2021. They have proposed leveling funding for schools, while increasing funding for the police. Measured since 2016, this would entail a 2% reduction in spending per student and a 20% increase in spending per police officer. We have
drafted a petition to demand that the City Council reorient their priorities. With chapter approval, we will release the petition as soon as possible. Please let us know in the next 24 hours if you oppose the petition or want to suggest edits/revisions.
Also, please mark your calendars! Next Thursday (6/18) at 7p on Zoom is our next monthly meeting. Here's the Zoom
