The protestors marched from Nubian Square to City Hall to urge Boston City Council to reallocate Boston police funding to youth jobs programs like SuccessLink, violence prevention, and to hire additional mental health counselors in Boston Public Schools. This past Sunday, a veto-proof majority of the council announced plans to disband its police department and invest in community-based public safety programs.
According to Friday's resolution, the city council will begin a year-long process of engaging"with every willing community member in Minneapolis" to develop a new public safety model. "We acknowledge that the current system is not reformable — that we would like to end the current policing system as we know it," council member Alondra Cano said.A"Future of Community Safety Work Group," will be formed and will include staff from city departments, including the offices of violence prevention and civil rights.
The council also voted unanimously on Friday to end the local emergency order that had been declared due to protests in the wake of Floyd's death. Although the city's mayor, Jacob Frey, has stated he does not endorse the full abolition of the police, he said this week he supported"massive structural reform to revise a structurally racist system." However, the city council was unanimous in their decision.
