Community Commitment Digital Toolkit

Social Media Post #1

Louisville deserves public safety AND accountability. The Community Commitment ordinance helps protect reforms that increase transparency, improve oversight, and build trust between police and the communities they serve.

Metro Council must vote YES.

A safer Louisville starts with accountability.

Social Media Post #2

The DOJ found serious unconstitutional policing practices in Louisville. Those problems do not disappear because federal leadership changed.

Louisville Metro Council has the chance to protect reforms locally by passing the Community Commitment ordinance.

Tell your councilmember to vote YES.

Social Media Post #3

Transparency is not radical. It’s common sense.

The Community Commitment ordinance creates standards, oversight, and accountability that should exist in every city serious about public safety.

Louisville cannot afford to move backward. Vote YES on the Community Commitment.

Real safety means preventing harm before it happens. The Community Commitment ordinance supports better training, stronger oversight, and smarter crisis response. That protects both civil rights and public safety. Tell Metro Council to vote YES.

Post #5
After Breonna Taylor’s killing, Louisville promised change. The Community Commitment ordinance is part of keeping that promise. Accountability should not depend on who is in office or what happens in Washington. Louisville must move forward, not backward.

Transparency is not Radical

Reform Makes Communities Safer

Your Voice Matters

Tell Metro Council to Adopt the Community Commitment

Please Vote YES on the Community Commitment Ordinance.

Dear Councilmember,

I am writing to urge you to vote YES on the Community Commitment ordinance.

Louisville deserves policing that protects both public safety and civil rights. The Department of Justice identified serious unconstitutional policing practices in our city, and residents deserve meaningful reforms that remain in place regardless of changes at the federal level.

Passing the Community Commitment ordinance would help strengthen transparency, accountability, and oversight while improving trust between law enforcement and the community. These reforms are not anti-police. They are pro-safety, pro-accountability, and pro-Louisville.

This is an opportunity for Louisville Metro Council to help move our city forward and ensure that community voices remain part of shaping public safety.

I urge you to support the Community Commitment ordinance and vote YES.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

1. The Community Commitment is about safer communities for everyone.
   This ordinance supports reforms that improve public safety while also protecting civil rights and reducing unnecessary harm.
2. The DOJ findings did not disappear when federal leadership changed.
   The problems identified in Louisville policing were real. Local leaders still have a responsibility to address them.
3. Transparency and oversight build public trust.
   Communities deserve clear standards and accountability systems that do not change with politics or election cycles.
4. This ordinance supports better policing, not weaker policing.
   Improved training, stronger oversight, and better crisis response help officers do their jobs more effectively while improving outcomes for residents.
5. Communities most impacted by policing deserve a voice in reform.
   Residents in historically marginalized neighborhoods have lived with the consequences of these issues for years. Their experiences and perspectives should help shape solutions.
