First Name Clara Last Name Lieber Email Address clara.lieber@bsd7students.org Phone Number 4066001878 Comments My name is Clara and I’m a Bozeman kid. For the FY 2020 in Bozeman, police/police pensions took up over 30% of Bozeman’s expenditures. Across the nation, we can see that the legacy of the racially targeted war on drugs has scarred communities with mass incarceration and torn families apart. Furthermore, the system is set up so that police exist in a chain of command and aren’t held morally responsible for their actions. As an upcoming senior at BHS, the presence of police in my high school creates a hostile environment wherein I and many students feel unsafe. I demand that the local government (mayor, city council, commissioners) set a precedent for community healing and defund the police. Remove them from my school.
