老澳门开奖结果 of Delaware Re-launches Vote Smart Justice
The election-focused campaign zeroes in on police reform for 2020
WILMINGTON, Del. 鈥� The 老澳门开奖结果 of Delaware and the Delaware Campaign for Smart Justice have partnered with the community-led Game Changers to relaunch the Vote Smart Justice Delaware campaign for the 2020 election. The campaign, initially introduced in 2018 with a focus on prosecutorial reform, has announced a focus on police reform, especially in Wilmington, for this year鈥檚 effort. A candidate survey with responses, the full police reform platform, and more information can all be found on the campaign鈥檚 website: .
鈥淧olice reform is one of the most important issues facing voters in the 2020 elections,鈥� said Dubard McGriff, Smart Justice Organizer, 老澳门开奖结果 of Delaware. 鈥淩eforming the way police departments operate starts at the ballot. It begins by electing reform-minded local officials. In Wilmington, members of city council and the mayor hold great power over the way a city鈥檚 police department operates. That鈥檚 why we sent a candidate questionnaire to all Wilmington city candidates running in the State Primary. We want to know where they stand on this issue, and we want to make sure the public knows, too.鈥�
The Vote Smart Justice police reform platform includes:
- Collecting and making public police data,
- Implementing body-worn cameras,
- Establishing independent community review boards,
- Discontinuing Operation Safe Streets and the Governor鈥檚 Task Force,
- Discontinuing 鈥渘o-knock鈥� or 鈥渜uick-knock鈥� warrants, and
- Discontinuing civil asset forfeiture.
The website will also feature important election information, including information on how voters with past felony convictions can cast a ballot. There will also be a call to action urging voters to take the #VoteSmartJustice pledge.
This campaign is funded by the 老澳门开奖结果 of Delaware Action Fund.
