Please join the fight for social justice by supporting Advocates for Social Justice as we demand the leaders of Cedar Rapids take real action to meet our 7 demands for police reform and the dismantling of systemic racism and oppression in our community.

Demands:

1. Citizen’s Review Board

2. Significant investment in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

3. Ban the use of Choke-holds, Knee-to-neck Maneuvers (and other lethal restraining techniques) and Strengthen Existing Use of Force Standards

4. Decriminalize minor marijuana crimes and other lower-level offenses.

5. Impose Strict Body Camera Provisions.

6. Make the negotiations between municipal authorities (management) and the bargaining units that represent police officers public.

7. Abolish Qualified Immunity.
