turning the 2020 uprising into tangible progress towards a new vision of safety.
Defund MPD formed in June 2020 and we are a Black-led multi-racial coalition of people and organizations in DC who share a common vision of a city without prisons and police. In 2020, there were 15,000+ public submissions on FY21 budget, 1,300+ letters of support demanding changes to the Fraternal Order of Police contract, and over 180 days of political education, protest, and street action. We were born out of the 2020 uprising, and although the climax has passed, we are still active, still engaged, still attentive. Our demand is time-bound to three years to encourage longer term investment from our coalition members, elected officials, and community organizations past the 2022 elections and the upcoming announcement of criminal legal reforms in the district.
Defund MPD demands a just, three-year transition from policing and oppression to care and freedom by defunding MPD to refund our community. We deserve community power, not police power. We are turning the 2020 uprising into tangible progress towards a new vision of safety.
