Together we can end the United States' overreliance on police
John — in the time it takes you to read this sentence, another person in the United States will be arrested.
The rate at which people in this country are routinely arrested is devastating enough on its own, but what many do not know is:
- Coming into contact with police can have far reaching collateral consequences.
- Those consequences harm the health, educational development, and economic security of individuals and communities.
- That doesn't just include people who have experienced police brutality. Routine law enforcement actions such as street stops and arrests can cause significant harm to and destabilize communities.
Every day that policing is relied upon as a primary approach to safety, we risk the health, dignity, and well-being of millions of people.
Join Vera to support policies that will lead to long-term safety for every community.
Vera is elevating and strengthening alternatives to policing that truly keep us safe while ending racial injustice. And it is so important to have a passionate and dedicated community behind us—as always, thank you for your support.
