Campaign for
Real Public Safety
ReEnvision ReInvest ReBuild
“Arrest & Incarcerate” has been the response to crime for the last 30 years, leaving us with overflowing jails & prisons, lives and communities destroyed and with little to no increase in public safety. It is a failed model. Across the nation, communities are imagining a new paradigm of public safety in order to proactively address the root causes of crime. Re-Investing in Public Safety would redirect money from the arrest & incarcerate model to partnerships with social services.
​
The Campaign for Real Public, therefore, has three components:
​
1) Divesting from Police
​
2) Re-Investing through implementation of Cure Violence as a first-step alternative to policing
​
3) Re-Investing through building the Health Department and other social services in order to build communities and create an environment where people are truly safe.
