Justice for Breonna Taylor
Recently, Louisiana passed an ordinance banning no-knock search warrants. But it's received widespread controversy for being named “Breonna’s Law” when none of the officers involved with Breonna Taylor’s murder on March 13 have been charged. Sign this petition to get justice for Breonna.
Justice for Manuel Ellis
On March 3, Tacoma, WA resident Manuel Ellis died in police custody and recent investigations say that his death was due to hypoxia from physical restraint and was ruled a homicide. The officers involved have still not been charged, get justice for Manuel by signing this petition.
Justice for Robert Fuller
On June 10, Robert Fuller’s body was found hanging from a tree near Palmdale City Hall in California. It has been ruled a suicide by the Sheriff’s Department, but this petition demands a thorough investigation into his death, which his family and the majority of the public believe to be a lynching.
Defund the Seattle P.D.
There has been a nationwide call to defund police, and this petition specifically demands to defund the Seattle Police Department. This comes from COVID-19 Mutual Aid Seattle, a group of organizations and individuals working to form an anti-racist public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Decriminalize UW
This petition has already received hundreds of signatures from UW faculty members, students, and organizations, for good reason. It calls for UW leadership to break ties with the Seattle Police Department and reimagine a Safe Campus in the interest of public health and safety of all students.
King County Equity Now
This petition outlines the demands made by King County Equity Now, a group of Black-led organizations. These demands include redistributing the SPD budget, dropping charges against protesters, and more. Add your signature to make sure that King County gets these changes.
Ban Use of Rubber Bullets
Peaceful protesters and journalists have been struck by rubber bullets, causing some of them to lose their sight. Although police claim that rubber bullets are less lethal, they come with serious repercussions and have been proven to be too dangerous for crowd control. Add your name to ban use of this dangerous weapon.
#DefundthePolice
