Lisa Bender: "I think step one for us is to tell the truth. Nine council members from communities all across the city of all different backgrounds, standing together to tell the truth and say, this system isn't working for too many of our neighbors for too long. Our reform efforts have failed, and we have done many, many attempts at reform and new leadership in the department and many things. Uh, and we still see, um, this tragic death. And so I think the wake up of our community is what's driving the city council's announcement. I know the statement was bold and I stand by that bold statement, but the work ahead of us will be long. It will include every member of our community. It has to."
