On April 23, two NPBC members called in to WPLN’s monthly “Ask the Mayor” segment to ask Mayor O’Connell if he would commit to making major new investments, this budget cycle, into permanently affordable social housing and non-police community safety. This is how it went...

$25 million to guarantee housing and safety for all! If Mayor O'Connell really wants us to “stay,” he will allocate $10 mil for *permanently* affordable social housing. If he really believes that “there is more to safety than policing,” he will allocate $15 mil for non-police community safety.

FEWER COPS & THE CRIME RATE DROPS. Why? Because there is no correlation between policing & crime. People hurt each other & steal things because the state divests from the public goods that people need to survive. Stop spending on cops that don't impact safety & fully fund what people need to thrive.
