Protesters plan to organize at City Hall before next week’s City Council meeting in response to Safer Together falling apart this week. The committee sought to improve relations between law enforcement and the community they serve.
Councilmember Michael Boylan resigned as vice-chair of Safer Together after saying he did not believe activists and police could ever come together. Council President Sam Newby then dissolved the committee, disappointing activists who have been pushing for police reform in Jacksonville.
Guests:
- Joyce Morgan, city councilwoman, District 1.
- Michael Boylan, city councilman, District 6.
