The @stopshotspotter coalition and groups including @ACREcampaigns @mediajustice @FreedomtoThrive @MPower_Change and @lucyparsonslabs have a week of action.
One way to get involved: sign the petition and tell ShotSpotter to stop selling surveillance.

If anyone is still “on the fence” about the #NolaCoalition & their intentions:
Here is a video clip of Melanie Talia, CEO of the New Orleans Police & Justice Foundation saying *explicitly* that they want to “remove” ~10% of the population of New Orleans.

Since many people don’t seem to understand how deeply the #NolaCoalition embodies white supremacy through & through, here is a little breakdown to help:

The CEO of @nopjf & former assistant district attorney wants to "remove" 9-10% of the population of New Orleans to make our city "safe". That's tens of thousands of people.

Some states—Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas & Nebraska—denied about 90% of welfare applicants in 2020.
Texas, where a single parent of 2 must earn less than $188/month, had the lowest acceptance rate at just 7%, but had $281M in unspent welfare funds.

Marcus Bartley suffered a stroke while in solitary confinement. Over 6 months of medical crises followed; his family was not allowed to see him once. He passed away last week. Please help us cover the costs of his funeral; his family has suffered enough.

My friend Adonis was ABUSED by Purdue Police. He was beaten on and choked while pinned down to the ground by Officer Jon Selke. They refused to show body cam footage and investigation has decided the Officer has done no wrong. THIS SHIT IS RIDICULOUS. Nothing changes…

This is why we need #abolition. Calling the pigs SHOULD NOT be a first reaction to conflict. As abolitionists, we build alternative supports for our communities that don’t rely on state violence.
All this started over an argument between this man and his girlfriend, the same one that can be heard pleading for the officer to stop during the video. I think @PurduePolice needs to release the bodycam footage immediately!

Imagine being a reporter at the most influential, prestigious news org in the U.S. and writing a major story at a time of rising fascism and just repeating police and corporate talking points about needing more punishment without seeking a single other perspective. Incredible.
