Friend,
In the time it takes you to read this sentence, another person in the United States will be arrested. Their life will likely forever be impacted by that experience.
Are you ready for change? Join Vera to create public safety solutions that don’t rely on policing.
The evidence is clear: the harms of police contact can follow a person throughout their life. It can destabilize entire communities. Interactions with law enforcement impact people’s health and wellness, educational achievement, financial security, and so much more. And these costs disproportionately impact Black people and other overpoliced communities of color.
It doesn’t need to be this way. Vera is strengthening alternatives to policing that truly keep us safe while ending racial injustice.
Onward,
Vera Institute of Justice
