Last year, as news broke of the (most recent) OPD police scandal, APTP and the TBO Coalition called for the city to DEFUND the corrupt and violent Oakland Police Department by 50% and to invest that money in our community, to spend it in ways that truly improve the health and safety of Oakland. As of March 2017, Oakland’s budget cycle has begun, and for the next 3 months, the mayor and city council will be crafting and amending a proposed budget, and their calendars will be filled with public forums and hearings on the topic. We want to take each and every possible opportunity to build momentum for our campaign, and we need your help!
