Wed., March 27 at 9:30 AM, there is a budget hearing to solicit testimony and
input on funding the Metropolitan Police Department. The Budget Oversight
Hearing of the Committee on the Judiciary and Public Safety is in Room 500 of
the Wilson Building, 1350 Pennsylvania Ave. NW. Join with the DC Poor People's
Campaign, Black Lives Matter, Stop Police Terror and others in packing this
hearing. Articulate why we don't need more money going into policing just
as DC is experiencing the "most intense gentrification in the nation"
according to the Washington Post. To take a stand against more police funding
and for more affordable housing funding and to fully fund the NEAR Act's Office
of Violence Prevention (which has still not been opened) is to stand against
the war economy and for a peace economy. The peace economy is based on
investing in public health solutions to violence, not more police and more
money for policing that should go to our most vulnerable communities. Call
202-413-2540 or go to www.peacefellowshipchurch.org.
