Call Script
I am a member of Indivisible San Francisco and I live in district <your district>.
[If your Supervisor is Gordon Mar or Hillary Ronen]: I am calling to thank the Supervisor for voting NO on the nominations of Nancy Tung and Geoffrey Gordon-Creed to the SF Police Commission in the Rules Committee.
[If your Supervisor is Catherine Stefani]: I am calling to express my disappointment that the Supervisor voted YES on the nominations of Nancy Tung and Geoffrey Gordon-Creed to the SF Police Commission in the Rules Committee.
[If your supervisor is Fewer, Peskin, Walton, Yee, Mandelman, Preston, Haney, or Safaí]: I am calling to ask the Supervisor to vote NO on the nominations of Nancy Tung and Geoffrey Gordon-Creed to the SF Police Commission in the full Board Vote, and also to lift curfew in SF.
Tung is a law-and-order conservative who will give the police an even freer hand to violate the civil rights of SF residents.
Geoffrey Gordon-Creed is an unqualified business lawyer with no record of engaging on criminal justice issues or representing communities impacted by policing policies.
Especially now, I urge the Supervisors to make sure our SF Police Commission is staffed by qualified members who are committed to upholding civil rights.
