- Deaconess Center - 1000 N. Vandeventer Ave., 63113
The St. Louis Police Department, with the power of the State behind it, is demanding more money to harass and contain citizens. This increase will be to the detriment of other city services and programs. CAPCR and its partners are gearing up for a budget fight and need your involvement. We’re planning several actions and events so you can get the information and skills you need to participate fully. The fight for democracy at City Hall, at the Capitol, and at the White House is an ongoing one, but we only have a short window of opportunity to impact the city budget.
