DENVER CITY COUNCIL TO VOTE ON GIVING INDEPENDENT MONITOR MORE TEETH

At the next City Council meeting in Denver (held on Tuesday the 17th, rather than Monday, at 5:30 p.m.), Council will vote on whether or not to give more teeth to the Office of the Independent Monitor. For more information, check out the article.

Law enforcement from the Denver Police Department are expected to pack the meeting in opposition to further oversight. Please help us to bring the voice of the people, who simply want law enforcement that works for them, not against and in spite of them, to Denver City Council. This is a rare opportunity to take a step in the right direction for police violence accountability. City Council is surely going to be told that we need to give the police more trust, not less, despite the fact that we have the 2nd deadliest police department in the country. Clearly their story is one of fiction, and we need a good dose of reality, in the form of independent oversight, within Denver's law enforcement community.
