This “survey” is a joke. It was put out by the Council President and the Chief of Staff, not the body. It was internally opposed by some members of Council due to the biased nature of the questions and it being an entirely unscientific, unserious survey.
Donna Jackel retweeted
The saddest part about it is this “survey” largely omits the voices of people who’re actually impacted by police brutality.

This morning we published @janawinter's article on a secret CBP unit that investigates journalists, members of Congress and other unsuspecting Americans.

Dr. Anthony Fauci says “it’s really unfortunate and really disappointing” that the Trump campaign featured him in an ad touting the President’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic.

What do I mean by a rigged economy? Here's what the past decade looked like:
Wages of the top 1%: 📈+19%
$620,000 to $740,000 a year
Median wage: 🏊🏼+2%
$18.40 to $18.80 an hour
Minimum wage:📉-17%
$8.70 to $7.25 an hour
It's time to put working people first instead of last.
