We did it!! Austin City Council just reduced APD's budget by over $100 million *and* reinvested resources into our community's safety and well-being. Tens of thousands of you have called, emailed, and testified. You made the impossible into a reality. #blacklivesmatter

We voted to open a new family violence shelter, house the homeless, expand substance use care, establish gun violence intervention programs, hire mental health first responders, & more. Tens of millions of dollars are being immediately reinvested into these solutions.
$80 million of the changes will happen over the course of the year to 1) fund more programs and 2) make functions like Internal Affairs and Forensics fully independent. We need your continued advocacy to make sure what we voted for gets fully put into place in the coming months.
We have many fights ahead. Extreme, anti-civil rights voices will try to send us backward and are already working mislead people about this vote. But today, we should celebrate what the movement has achieved for safety, racial justice, and democracy.
Thank you so much for supporting this
Thank you! 
Hope this is real and just the start
Thank you for helping to restore some of my faith in the city where I was born and raised. 
Please work on gentrification too.
It’s a real big deal, and near and dear to many local long-term Austinites.
Agreed. Encourage businesses to move into parts of he city with fewer residents and encourage local businesses. We want the city to grow, but not by replacing its current residents.
Can you link to the full text of the plan that was approved?
Thanks for your hard work. You have our support, as we continue to create a just Austin.
