As you know, George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and so many unnamed others have been killed because of our country's 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 specific diversity, equality, and inclusion line item. We believe this is a small request to begin to address the massive inequalities and systems of oppression that have been perpetuated by government inaction. All the best, Khanhthy Le Khanhthy Le Pronouns She, Her, Hers Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo Electrical Engineering Undergraduate Phone: 408-666-8853 email: kle77@calpoly.edu 1
