OUR KEY FOCUS AREAS
FOR A BETTER JUSTICE SYSTEM:
Focus Area
Justice system
Build Safe Communities
The objective of Build Safe Communities is to unravel the idea of safety and create alternatives centered on prevention and care. We do this through campaigns against those enabling policing harm (media, police unions, retailers). The challenge is to build an overarching strategy scaling all campaigns focused on those enabling policing harms.
Focus Area
Justice system
Winning Justice
Every time we hold prosecutors accountable, we are transforming our criminal justice system and building power for our communities. The prosecutor accountability movement has developed a winning approach to ending the most unjust, unconstitutional, destructive and racist practices of prosecutors: money bail, over-charging, over-sentencing, over-policing, the drug war, attacking immigrants, sending our kids to adult prisons and keeping secrets about what’s really happening in their offices and in police departments.
