HEY LA:

The LA city budget is due tomorrow (6/1). $3 billion -- a full 54% -- of the budget is going to LAPD. We've seen the cops the past two days. They have enough money. Call and email council members and implore they have an emergency meeting to redistribute.
Start here.

Council President Nury Martinez, who is required to count your calls and emails.

If you don't know what to write or say, here's what I did verbatim:

"As a citizen, I implore you to have an emergency meeting to redistribute city wealth. LAPD does NOT need 54% of the Los Angeles budget. Angelenos demand a change."
I'm being told voicemails are full. GOOD! Now send emails! Talking on the phone is daunting anyway!
I'd like to make one amendment to my initial tweet. After reviewing the budget proposal, it appears the $3 billion is actually about 44% of the budget and not 54%. However, that's still WAY TOO MUCH. Don't stop blasting our representatives with your voices!
