“Hi, my name is ________ and I am connected to PSU as a ________. I’m calling to demand that Portland State University disarm the CPSO. I demand that the University engage students, faculty, and staff in dialogue about how to reimagine safety outside the logic of policing. I demand that money be reinvested towards the building of Black futures and towards campus services that do not rely on the practice of policing.
Thank you for your time.”
