DESCRIPTION:We, the people of Fremont, are taking direct action by occupying space this 
 Monday, July 6th. A month ago we took to the streets marching, organizing 
 multiple protests, and have since shown up to city council meetings to 
 demand the defunding of the Fremont Police Department from the budget. Now 
 it’s time to put further pressure on these institutions. The Mayor & City 
 Council have ignored the voices of our community by maintaining the status 
 quo having unanimously passed a budget that gives nearly 30% of the city's 
 general fund to the police.  We are tired of countless performative 
 gestures coupled with incrementalist reform that don’t work. We are clear 
 in the demand to have Fremont divest from the police and invest in our 
 community. The people of Fremont demand: \nEliminate School Resource 
 officers (SROs) program from FUSD thereby terminating the $2,452,000 
 contract and redirecting the money into community funds. We want 
 #PoliceFreeSchools \nDefundFPD: The reallocation of budget divesting from 
 police to community services such as housing, homeslessnes, and mental 
 health. Instituting a hiring freeze for all new FPD officers. Removing 
 police from non violent response whereby having trained health care 
 workers, transportation personnel, and other unarmed civilians who answer 
 homeless, mental health, & domestic calls. \nRemove traffic/parking 
 enforcement from FPD having transportation personnel deal with these 
 matters only.\nPull animal services and the Mobile Evaluation Team from FPD 
 and into the department of Community Services, Recreation Services, and 
 Human/Housing Services\nDemilitarizeFPD:  with a ban on the purchase of 
 riot, military, and surveillance equipment, software, and any third party 
 security services & remove existing military gear.\nRemove all military 
 gear from FPD and dismantle SWAT division\nDo not pay overtime and overtime 
 pay for military exercises\nWithdraw participation in police militarization 
 programs \nBan the rehiring of cops with history of misconduct & excessive 
 force \nSuspend the use of paid administrative leave for cops under 
 investigation & withhold pension. \nIn collaboration with a community led 
 coalition of organizations & activists; the committee to #DefundFPD has 
 drafted these demands calling on Fremont officials to end the carceral 
 state. We stand for abolition and the return of all power to all the 
 people.  We will not be silent. We will take space. No justice, no peace!
