Hi, everyone!
Tonight, at 5:30 PM CST, the Madison Police & Fire Commission will be meeting to vote for Madison's new Chief of Police.
Here's a thread on how you can attend the meeting, and what you need to know going into it.
[#1]: Meeting the candidates.
Yesterday (12/8), the PFC conducted their final interviews with these candidates.
The PFC then released edited videos of these interviews to the public.
You can find these videos here:

[#3]: Raising your voice!
If you'd like to vocalize your opposition or support for a Police Chief candidate, there should still be time to register to speak at this meeting. The process for registration is just a bit weird.

IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO SPEAK AT THE MEETING, OR IF YOU CANNOT ATTEND THE MEETING, you can directly email [email protected] with your written comments on the candidates.
As previously stated on this account, RMT condemns the lack of transparency in this voting process and the PFC's suppression of constituent voices by refusing to follow Madison ordinances on public speaking. (See below.) https://twitter.com/RMT_Madison/status/1336075077645983748
Please push back against their loopholes by following the instructions above, and attend the meeting to pressurize our demands for a Police Chief that listens to the people!
