EMAIL TEMPLATE TO SEND TO CINCINNATI CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS TO URGE THEM TO CONSIDER DEFUNDING THE POLICE:
[NAME OF COUNCIL MEMBER],
My name is [X] and I am a resident of Cincinnati. I urge you as a member of city council to consider reallocation of the Cincinnati expense budget, away from CPD, and towards social services and education programs.
In 2018, researchers at New York University found that “in a city of 100,000 people, each new non-profit community organization [led] to a 1.2 percent drop in homicide rate, a 1 percent decrease in violent crime rate, and a 0.7 percent reduction in property and crime rate.” (https://www.policingproject.org/) Expanding social and economic programs for under-resourced communities leads to an overall greater investment now and in the future.
