City Council President Lisa Bender and City Council Vice President Andrea Jenkins were joined on stage by Council Members Alondra Cano, Philippe Cunningham, Jeremiah Ellison, Steve Fletcher, Cam Gordon and Jeremy Schroeder at the end of the rally to announce their intent to end the Minneapolis Police Department through a budgetary process. They said they would divert those funds toward a community-based public safety model. "This council is going to dismantle this police department," Ellison said.
