Nate Steger and Ofc. Michael Mellone on April 7, 2016 is remedied by putting an end to police violence and impunity in this City.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We support the Black Lives Matter movement and join the public call to significantly defund the police. Unfortunately, Mayor London Breed\u2019s response to the people&#8217;s demand falls disappointingly short by maintaining a bloated police budget of $674,194,131 for FY 2020-2021 and $675,774,373 for FY 2021-2022. This represents a 56.6 percent increase from the police budget of 10 years ago, a 75.8 percent increase from 12 years ago, and only <strong>an insignificant -2.6 percent decrease<\/strong> from last year\u2019s 2019-2020 budget. A token budget shift will only result in the perpetuation of police violence and criminalization of Black, Indigenous, People of Color, transgendered, and homeless peoples in this City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While we commend Mayor Breed on committing to a multi-year strategy to decrease over-policing of the Black community and repair the legacy of racially disparate policies on health, housing, and economic outcomes, the $120.0M that the Mayor allocated to this purpose will not\u2014by the numbers presented\u2014be funded significantly by proposed cuts to law enforcement budgets. Moreover, only an approximate $6.0M over two years of promised funds will be dedicated to a planning process for\u2014but not implementation of\u2014diversion of non-emergency, low priority calls from law-enforcement to non-law enforcement agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not progress. It isn\u2019t even change. It is the conservation of legacy policing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/DefundSignificantly_001-_web.jpg?resize=1200%2C675&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45077\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/DefundSignificantly_001-_web.jpg?w=1200&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/DefundSignificantly_001-_web.jpg?resize=360%2C203&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/DefundSignificantly_001-_web.jpg?resize=600%2C338&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/DefundSignificantly_001-_web.jpg?resize=200%2C112&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/DefundSignificantly_001-_web.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/DefundSignificantly_001-_web.jpg?resize=370%2C208&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 370w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/DefundSignificantly_001-_web.jpg?resize=800%2C450&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/DefundSignificantly_001-_web.jpg?resize=20%2C11&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 20w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/DefundSignificantly_001-_web.jpg?resize=185%2C104&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 185w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/DefundSignificantly_001-_web.jpg?resize=740%2C416&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 740w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/DefundSignificantly_001-_web.jpg?resize=400%2C225&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/DefundSignificantly_001-_web.jpg?resize=85%2C48&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 85w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The budget process also comes in the midst of a pandemic when we need to find more cost savings to prevent massive austerity cuts to social safety net programs. The proposed budget cuts of 2.62 percent to the police and 5.7 percent to the sheriff&#8217;s budget from last year are less than the steeper budget cuts being faced by 21 other departments which include the Department of Police Accountability (-9.10 percent), Children, Youth and Families (-7.78 percent), Status of Women (-3.15 percent), and the San Francisco Public Library (-17 percent).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DIVEST FROM POLICE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We call upon the Board of Supervisors Budget Committee to respond to the historic public demand to divest from legacy policing by significantly reducing the City\u2019s law enforcement budgets and refunding the City\u2019s safety social net. Through the efforts of a broad coalition of organizations, potential cuts from the proposed police and sheriff budgets representing over $512.0M have been identified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While all these cuts may not be immediately possible, <strong>we urge you<\/strong> to start by eliminating new police recruits and academy classes. We also do not need police in schools and public housing, nor sheriffs in public clinics and hospitals. And, we must end the police units that have historically targeted Black, Indigenous and Peoples of Color including plainclothes officers, homeless and \u201chealthy streets\u201d units, gang units and narcotics units. More can and must be more done by the City\u2019s elected officials to divest from police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>INVEST IN BLACK LIVES<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Luis-Gongora-Pat-Statement_web.jpg?resize=369%2C491&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45078\" width=\"369\" height=\"491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Luis-Gongora-Pat-Statement_web.jpg?w=825&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 825w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Luis-Gongora-Pat-Statement_web.jpg?resize=188%2C250&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 188w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Luis-Gongora-Pat-Statement_web.jpg?resize=360%2C480&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Luis-Gongora-Pat-Statement_web.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Luis-Gongora-Pat-Statement_web.jpg?resize=370%2C493&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 370w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Luis-Gongora-Pat-Statement_web.jpg?resize=800%2C1067&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Luis-Gongora-Pat-Statement_web.jpg?resize=185%2C247&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 185w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Luis-Gongora-Pat-Statement_web.jpg?resize=740%2C987&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 740w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Luis-Gongora-Pat-Statement_web.jpg?resize=20%2C27&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 20w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Luis-Gongora-Pat-Statement_web.jpg?resize=400%2C533&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Luis-Gongora-Pat-Statement_web.jpg?resize=600%2C800&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Luis-Gongora-Pat-Statement_web.jpg?resize=36%2C48&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 36w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 369px) 100vw, 369px\" \/><figcaption>Luis G\u00f3ngora Pat&#8217;s cousin, Luis Poot Pat, and younger brother, Jos\u00e9 G\u00f3ngora, pose for a portrait on Aug. 19, 2020.
