SO awesome Drew!! 🌟This is fun to play with, even before we put in
images. I just wanted to keep clicking defund officers! defund officers! I
should have time tonight / tomorrow afternoon to pull together some images
/ ideas on elaborating on this great work. Looking forward to seeing you
all soon...

I love this!! It’s already such a fun experience - makes me click happy.
Amazing work, thank you Drew!
Forgive me for being so behind in the conversation, everyone. I look
forward to helping make the Instagram slide decks (I’ve also heard them
called “carousels” but I much prefer Brock’s “slide shows”!).
I’m also overjoyed by all the incredible ideas in this thread! Just, WOW.
If May 12th is still in the books, I look forward to seeing you all then.
Best,

Hello!
I got a bare-bones prototype of an interactive police defunding / PB
funding web page. It's really basic at this point and it's text only, so it
doesn't have as *fun *of a vibe as I would like. And I just sort of
made up all of the content just as a placeholder. I hope this version will
inspire you with ideas for images, text, or functionality that will make it
more joyous and help to get people excited for PB.
React App (defund-calculator.azurewebsites.net)
<https://defund-calculator.azurewebsites.net/>
Hopefully it actually loads for everybody - I have some experience
coding but I kind of stumbled my way through publishing it so everybody can
see it. If it doesn't load when you click the link, let me know and I'll
get it back up again.
Hope everyone's doing well! See you soon.

Good morning!
Thanks for capturing the notes and follow-up from the meeting, Brock. I
think I mentioned that I often revisit previous conversations (ellipses)
but I've been thinking more about the coloring book/SIMS city concept and
I'm really starting to see it (full disclosure: I know nothing about SIMS
city. I had a hand-me-down Pong atari game growing up while my friends were
all playing Super Mario - in keeping with the Gen X references). Anyway, I
can imagine a coloring book with images of police (officer with shield, cop
car, surveillance tower, etc.) in full color. Then you click on one of
those images and they turn black and white and several other images are
enabled (house, garden, children at preschool, etc.) that you can choose
from to click on. Then they are in full vivid color. Anyway, just wanted to
share that image with you all this morning.
[image: image.png]
As always, it was great imagining with you all.
Thanks,
Renee

Thanks for a great meeting, friends! I appreciate the creativity of this
group so much!
Below is a quick summary of what I am taking away from our discussion.
Please chime in with other reflections, elaborations or questions.
Let's keep the conversation going and see where it takes us!
In solidarity --
bjg
*****
*Apr 29 PB creators discussion *
- We discussed possible approaches to illustrate the
choice/tradeoffs that we make when we chose to fund police
- There were a lot of cool ideas - an Oregon Trail or Sim City style
game, a coloring book framework where people could fill in certain parts
of
a picture. Most ideas involved some kind of interactive component to get
people to play around with the idea of funding things other than policing
- The framework that I left with most clearly in my own head
involved two components:
1. Two or three Instagram "slideshows" (is that what they are
called?) with images that illustrate just how big of an expenditure
policing currently is and all of the other more healing things that we
could pay for if we made different choices. These posts would point
people
to...
2. A website with an interactive tool that lets users select (a)
some portion of the police budget to reallocate and (b) some things
that
they'd prefer to fund - i.e., housing, food, health care, mental
health
workers, etc. Once selected, the tool would estimate how many of the
other
things we could buy with the money that is reallocated from policing.
In terms of next steps, we discussed...
- Put stuff in this folder

(thanks
Renee!)
- Drew will take a crack at setting up a simple web-based framework
for the interactive component that we discussed
- Britta (and others?) will start sketching out some illustrations
that could be used on the Instagram posts and/or website
- Brock (and others?) start to assemble research on the benefits of
public investment in things like housing, health care, food,
transportation
and other basic needs
- Reconvene again in two weeks (May 12) at 7pm
- Consider seeking input from other Defund/abolition organizers once
we have some kind of prototype concept?

I really like this idea! I was thinking about some kind of "interactive"
version of this where you post a set of images depicting these different
conversions from police into community benefits and encourage people to
"vote" by picking the one (or more) that are most important to them to post
on their timeline. Sort of virtual participatory budgeting.
I wonder if there is a formal stat somewhere that could be used to
calculate the full cost of employing an officer for a year beyond salary,
including training, equipment, pension, administrative support, and
those other mandatory expenditures they cited to try to grab the $4.5
million back from PB. Also, maybe in some cases we could use examples with
scaled up numbers of officers. E.g., 10 officers for 1 year = 1 year of
preschool for 850 kids.
Thanks for driving this cool idea,

Brock,
Thank you for keeping our dream projects on the radar! The idea of an
infographic series is very compelling, and I'm grateful to be introduced to
Compton Pledge. I got chills reading their mission. To frame guaranteed
income as a "path towards reparations" hits powerfully.
Count me in on the One Cop project! I imagine there are similar
campaigns going on nationally, but I haven't seen anything specific to
Seattle. This will move folks, for sure.
Thank you again,

I certainly want us to stay focused on specific, near term actions, but
also don't want to lose sight of the infographic concept that we had
discussed a couple weeks back. I wanted to start an email thread to share
an idea and see if it sparks any interest/iteration.
Please take a look at the below when you have a minute and let me know
what you think!
bjg
---
I was inspired by the Highline educator at the recent DTD meeting (I
think their name was Renee?) who shared the stat about how many school
counselors could be funded for the same amount as one school-based cop.
I don't remember the specific stat (I think they said four counselors
per school-based cop?) and don't have the school counselor salary
information, but the premise got me thinking about what other things could
be funded with a cop's salary and how we might play with this idea to
illustrate the choice we make as a city when we chose to fund cops.
I'm including a mock up below all pulled from cost estimates created for
the UW self sufficiency standard, but the applications of this concept are
endless.
I think this conversation lends itself to the PB conversation, but also
points to the kind of steps that the City of Compton took recently via the
Compton
Pledge

The beauty of anti-racism is that you don’t have to pretend to be free
of racism to be an anti-racist. Anti-racism is the commitment to fight
racism wherever you find it, including in yourself.
And it’s the only way forward. — Ijeoma Oluo
