2021 Goals

It is another year.

But our goals have not changed.

1.    Defunding and Re-Defining the Dallas Police Department. A department with a legacy of racism which continues to hunt black men and women cannot merely be reformed. We must re-define community safety.

2. An end to the Dallas Police Association. Police unions like DPA exist primarily to prevent bad cops from being held accountable. 

3.    An end to qualified immunity (essentially, a law that allows police to be exempt from prosecution for acts committed in the course of doing their job) for Dallas Police Officers who turn off their body cameras or otherwise refuse to follow department policy. Many times, cops simply turn off a switch and then can act with impunity and hide behind qualified immunity 

4.    An end to “us versus them” law enforcement. Police officers continue to treat communities of color as a battlefield and continue to dehumanize people of color. An end to discriminatory policing. We want every person regardless of skin color to be treated fairly by law enforcement. 

5.    An end to the discriminatory “separate but equal” public education system. Dallas Independent School District is failing children of color. Why are white children in the suburbs given a better education than children of color in Dallas? Why are racist school board members denying children of color access to school choice? We demand access to equal education facilities. And if DISD refuses to provide quality education then we demand school choice. 

What are your goals and how will they lead to more justice and freedom?
