I'm part of a group organizing about police body cameras in Somerville, and Councilor JT Scott will be sponsoring some of us to speak at the Legislative Matters committee meeting on April 28th, but in the meantime there's a Finance Committee agenda item for tomorrow night to approve the mayor's request that we accept and expend a federal grant to buy the cameras.

We're hoping that if we can get enough Somerville residents to write to the Finance Committee and ask for a deferral that we can get them to wait until after the Legislative Matters meeting to decide whether to accept the grant. Ben Wheeler (https://www.somervillema.gov/content/councilor-ben-wheeler) is Chair of the Finance Committee (https://www.somervillema.gov/departments/city-council#committees-commissions). Suggested email language to follow. #SomervilleMA
