At least eight organizations funded by the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) are publicly advocating for the defunding and complete abolition of police departments.
WASHINGTON, D.C., July 15, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — At least eight organizations funded by the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) are publicly advocating for the defunding and complete abolition of police departments, says a new report from the Lepanto Institute. Several states which have heeded this call have witnessed a dramatic increase in violent crimes. The CCHD is the official anti-poverty program of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).
The Lepanto Institute’s report shows that on June 23, the CCHD-funded People Organized for Westside Renewal (POWER) demanded the defunding of the Los Angeles Police Department, which led to a reduction of $150 million from department funds. The first weekend in July brought a 100% increase in shootings and homicides in Los Angeles.
