Nebraskans across the political spectrum agree we can do better. We need to reimagine the role of police in our communities. We need to meet addiction and mental health problems with a public health response, not criminalization.
For many communities, the best way to get that done will be redirecting police resources to community-led programs that will keep us all safer.
The solution isn’t doubling down on mass incarceration, or disrupting Nebraska's tradition of local control over budget decisions. This isn’t a solution at all. It’s a gimmick with serious constitutional concerns.
The solution is acknowledging and dismantling institutional racism. It’s building up mental health support and economic opportunity.
So in closing - here’s our advice: don’t give this more energy or oxygen than it deserves months before the Nebraska Legislature reconvenes. We’re ready to fight this every inch of the way if it moves from a campaign stunt to actual legislation.
