Defend the Defund: Block SPD's $13-15m Request
 It's Monday -- and that's a great day to defund SPD! On Tuesday, Aug 10, the Seattle Police Department will ask the Public Safety and Human Services committee for over $13-15m in additional funding for nebulous "unforeseen budget needs." If you want to help Defend the Defund, Black Action Coalition is asking the public do one, two, or all of the following:
- Email council before the end of the day on Monday.
- Use public comment before SPD’s presentation on Tuesday morning to pre-emptively debunk the false claims that SPD will make. The meeting starts at 9:30 am. Sign up at 7:30.
- Share this message with your networks.
