4. REGISTER TO VOTE AND HELP OTHERS ACCESS THE POLLS
We will have voter registration kits at the budget meeting. The pandemic and voter suppression make it more difficult and dangerous for people to vote - if you have education and resources, use them to help others register, vote absentee, and access the polls.

5. CONTINUE LEARNING ANTI-RACIST AND ABOLITIONIST STRATEGIES
We will need many strategies, ideas, and solutions to build alternatives to policing in our community. It will not be easy or simple but we have to rise to the occasion and do it because BLACK LIVES MATTER
