OUR DEMANDS
-
#FreezeHPDBudget
We demand that the City of Houston freeze HPD's budget and invest in the kinds of community infrastructure and support that actually make us safer.
-
#HPDOutOfTraffic
We demand that the City of Houston protect Black and Brown drivers from harassment and violence by prohibiting police from making stops for minor traffic violations inside city limits.
-
#EndShotSpotter
We demand that the City of Houston end its wasteful $3.5 million contract with ShotSpotter, Inc. (now rebranded as “SoundThinking”) for bogus and harmful surveillance technology.
