DESCRIPTION:Attend the SLASH SFPD's STASH Rally and March!\n\nAugust 21st from 12 to 3 
 pm\n\nMeet at City Hall at 12 for opening rally, then march to the Hall of 
 Justice at 850 Bryant St.\n\n**MASKS AND SOCIAL DISTANCING 
 REQUIRED**\n\nThe August 22nd/24th public comment dates are the last times 
 for community input before the Budget chair releases the second spending 
 plan publicly. \n\nThe time is NOW to put the pressure on!\n\nThis is a 
 call to action to expose how far too much City funding is spent on policing 
 and to push for that money to go where it actually needs to go, such as 
 housing, education, healthcare, jobs and employment programs, and other 
 vital services that actually BENEFIT the community! \n\nThe SFPD budget 
 must be significantly slashed and we also need to pressure City Hall to cut 
 out hidden policing expenses included in other departments’ budgets. 
 \n\nCops also need to be disarmed. Slash both guns and cash! In addition to 
 saving lives, this will save funds previously used to pay for arms that can 
 then be allocated elsewhere.\n\nFight for real, effective police 
 accountability! Internally conducted investigations and reviews do not 
 bring justice!\n\n- While Mayor Breed is postponing City workers' raises 
 across the board, she is exempting the police\n\n- Across multiple City 
 departments, San Francisco spends more per capita on policing than most 
 major cities. \n\n- The SFPD’s budget has increased by about 76% over the 
 past 12 years while other departments continually face cuts, especially in 
 times of economic crisis when working people need the most services\n\n- 
 Black people make up just 5% of San Francisco’s population, but 35% of 
 the City’s homeless population, 54% of the jail population, and 40% of 
 people who are killed by police.\n\n- In 2019, nearly half of police 
 use-of-force incidents in San Francisco involved African Americans, while 
 the group makes up just 5% of the city’s population.\n\nTo make Black 
 lives matter and to genuinely "protect and serve" the lives and needs of 
 working-class people in San Francisco, we MUST defund the police!\n\nEmail

 event, or to endorse.\n
