The Dallas City Council last fall voted to take $7 million from the police department’s overtime budget to spend on streetlights and hire civilians to replace cops working desk jobs.

She marched shoulder to shoulder with activists against police brutality in Dallas. After the death of Botham Jean, Cortez helped launch the city’s first community police oversight board.
Throughout the pandemic, she helped provide communities in District 2 with millions of masks, books and supplies for thousands of students, as well as over a million fresh produce boxes and meals.
Last summer, after a Minneapolis police officer killed George Floyd, Cortez marched for social change, budget reform and a more equitable public safety model.
When it comes to environmental issues like Shingle Mountain, she said the city needs to make zoning work for its communities. Part of that starts with ensuring residents know what developments are being proposed in and around their neighborhoods.

New Generation Carries the Torch for Racial Justice and Equality

It’s why he said the fight for equality isn’t over. It's why he joined the movement: dancing while others marched.
“Police brutality, racism, it continues. It’s like a never-ending story. A terrible story,” he said. “There is still a lot of work to be done.”
Dallas activist Changa Higgins said MLK Day is a time to reflect on the work that must continue to make King’s dream a reality. He said the time is up for words without action.
“We are in the second wave of the Civil Rights Movement and policing and reimagining public safety is at the forefront of that movement,” Higgins said. “It’s time for us to have conversations nationally about qualified immunity, holding officers accountable, really reforming the criminal justice system.”
