Mayor Daniel Lurie is moving to oust police commissioner Max Carter-Oberstone, known for opposing dangerous police chases and pushing for independent SFPD oversight. This is a blatant power grab to silence any challenge to the police state. Carter-Oberstone’s independence and advocacy for reforms have put him at odds with the SF Police Officers Association, and now the Mayor wants him out. As socialists, we fight not just for reforms but for the full dismantling of policing and imprisonment. We support disarming the police, shrinking their power, and holding them accountable, all while organizing for a world without them.

Commissioner Carter-Oberstone’s removal will be heard before the Board of Supervisors on February 25. Join this letter campaign to urge them to oppose his removal, and attend the hearing in person to speak out!
