Many people recognize that police violence targets certain communities and want to avoid calling the police—but don’t know what to do in case of an emergency. Our new four-part series can help. We’ll help you develop concrete skills to avoid calling law enforcement unless it’s absolutely necessary. That includes exploring community-based alternatives to ensure safety for all of our neighbors.
