Subject:Topic for City Budget Review
Dear City Council,
My name is Anna Snyder and I am a resident of San Luis Obispo and a student at Cal Poly.
As you know, George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and so many unnamed others have been
killed because of our countries systematically racist criminal justice system.
In light of these events, we ask that in today's review of the 2020-21 budget, you reallocate some of the funds currently
directed toward the police department to other programs and alternative forms of policing, such as community policing,
community development, or even a specific diversity, equity, and inclusion line item.
We believe this is a small request to begin to address the massive inequities and systems of oppression that have been
perpetrated by government inaction. though this will not fix the problem, it will move our city in a positive direction and
demonstrate a tangible commitment to addressing systematic racism.
Thank you for all you do for the CIty of San Luis Obispo and for your consideration.
