An open letter to Carol Folt, DPS, and the Community Advisory Board from us and @RPSatUSC @USCBSA @SCALEUSC The Community Advisory Board’s recommendations will accomplish nothing. We demand nothing short of the abolition of the Dept of Public Safety. drive.google.com/file/d/1DDT…

Join us (+@USCAbolition, @USCBSA, @SCALEUSC) in person on Monday as we refuse USC’s attempts at police reform (in solidarity with nation wide calls to get cops off campus). Come talk about abolition, grab a zine & a snack, & be in solidarity with work refusals across the country.
The words Refuse Reform in pink cursive over a black, red, and pink background that features photos of cops with roses as heads. Text reads “Refuse CAB. Refuse neoliberal safety. Refuse fear. Refuse white supremacy. Refuse the inability to imagine otherwise. May 3, 1PM USC Village.”

Because of the origins of policing, DPS cannot be reformed and instead must be defunded then abolished to truly protect Black students and community members. Link in bio to sign a call to action for USC to cut ties with LAPD and defund DPS!

People have been asking why we are calling to defund DPS if they protect “us”. Well they don’t. They continuously harass and police Black students & community members. Reform is not an option! (A THREAD)
