DEFUND


Group seeking to defund the Grand Rapids police hosting Feb. 25 online discussion about accountability

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – Accountability and transparency by government, individuals and private organizations are the focus of a group advocating for a reduction in funding for the Grand Rapids Police Department. The Defund the GRPD organization is hosting a public discussion about accountability on Thursday, Feb. 25. The $9 million funding cut would lower the the police department’s share of general fund spending from 38.6 percent to 32 percent. The Grand Rapids City Charter requires police operations account for at least 32 percent of the annual city general fund, and changing the charter requires a vote of city residents. Members also worked with the Grand Rapids Area Tenants Union and Justice for Black Lives on the recently released Worst of Grand Rapids Awards.
