Why sign on?

We are asking community partners to sign onto Defund OPD: Invest in Community to further our coalition’s work and allow us to reach more community members.  Defunding a police department and reinvesting in measures that are proven to keep our community safe is a massive and paradigm shifting task.  The implications of this work will set a groundbreaking precedent across the nation.

What does signing on mean?

Signing onto Defund OPD: Invest in Community means your organization supports the mission and vision outlined below.  In addition a sign on means the following:

1. You will share our events to your network whenever possible (newsletters, canvassing, social media)

2. Your organization will send a representative to at least 1 meeting per quarter, or ask partners to subscribe to an emailing list

3. Your organization will share resources when possible - tables, tents, trainings, advice, etc.
