Dear John,

If you've been at a protest, keeping up with the news, or even just checking social media lately, you've probably heard about calls to "defund the police."

Some of you may be excited about this demand gaining traction and want to learn more about how to make it lead to real change — like investments in our communities that actually protect public safety.

Some of you may have some questions about what "defund the police" really means, where the demand originated, and even if it is the right one to be making for communities that experience the most violence.

On Saturday, WFP's Maurice Mitchell and Tiffany Cabán will be leading a national "Defund the Police 101" teach-in that will cover all of these questions and more — and we'd love to see you there, John!

RSVP now to join Maurice, Tiffany, and hundreds of WFP supporters on Saturday 8/1 at 4pm ET/1pm PT to get your questions answered and learn how we are pushing for concrete structural change in our communities:

Defund the Police 101 Teach-in
Led by Maurice Mitchell, WFP National Director and Tiffany Cabán, WFP Senior Political Strategist
Saturday, August 1, 2020
4pm ET / 3pm CT / 2pm MT / 1pm PT

Together, we have an incredible opportunity right now to make a major pivot in our national priorities, rethink the role of the police, and center our health, safety, and well-being. RSVP for Saturday's teach-in with WFP's Maurice Mitchell and Tiffany Cabán to learn how.

In solidarity,

Team WFP
