Calls for police reform are growing after the death of George Floyd sparked protests in Chicago and across the country.
On Sunday, a majority of the Minneapolis City Council vowed to disband the city’s police department.
Rossana Rodriguez Sanchez said she’s in favor of defunding the Chicago Police Department.
The Chicago Police Department’s budget is $1.78 billion.
“So if we say we care about people and their well-being, so if we say that black lives matter, so if we say we want to have healthy communities then we have to invest in the things that actually make people safe, happy and feel protected,” said Rodriguez Sanchez.
