Description
Join Bend the Arc: Jewish Action Austin for a conversation with City Council Member Alison Alter about the ongoing campaign in Austin to reimagine public safety.
Last summer, like in so many other cities across the country, Austinites and community groups took to the streets in support of the Movement for Black lives and demanded that the City of Austin act to end racist and violent policing. In response, the City Council unanimously passed a budget promising to reimagine public safety by redistributing over $20 million from police funding to other public health and safety causes.
As Jewish progressives in Austin, we know we have a role to play in continuing to bring our representatives along with us in the fight for justice. Please join us as we hear from Council Member Alter, and envision the role our community can play in creating a safer and more just Austin for all.
