If you or a loved one are in a mental health crisis, the work of finding low-cost or no-cost help in North Texas takes too much energy and time. Here is a simple list with phone numbers. Please share. #CareNotCops #mentalhealth #dallas #communitycare
The @CityOfDallas should be funding mental health programs instead of feeding the police budget. In the meantime, weāve rounded up some of the scant free to low-cost options available close by. #carenotcops #dallaswedeserve #defunddpd

This is the video we shared in our teach-in today that explains so powerfully why we are demanding the City of Dallas replace policing with an Office of Violence Prevention run by a civilian. Share it! youtu.be/bT0YpOmk8NA #defunddpd #BlackLivesMatter #DefundThePolice
This office will consider social, emotional, and mental health resources as means of public safety. It will be formed around the decriminalization of poverty, homelessness and sex work. It will NOT be run by cops. #carenotcops
Even if youāve experienced carceral violence, our comrade Ben says, it can take so much unlearning to grasp the idea that police donāt keep us safe and that there are much better ways to care for each other. What are your fears around abolition?
We are live for the #dallaswedeserve campaign kickoff. Our comrade Dominique just began with this question: What is one thing that excites you or are curious to know about abolition?
Ben says āHaving pathways to actually address harm. End of state violence. End of punishment and cages.ā
ABOLITION IS A PRESENCE, NOT AN ABSENCE: this is the note we are starting on this budget campaign season! #BlackLivesMatter #defunddpd
