Police violence in America has dominated the news cycle since George Floyd’s murder, but let’s be clear: it was a crisis long before Mr. Floyd’s death made headlines. The Law Enforcement Action Partnership is uniquely equipped to act on the need for a new way forward in policing. Our speakers and staff have never been busier. We’re doing everything we can to help build a justice system that is truly just. The police, judges, prosecutors, and corrections officials who join LEAP live by the values of integrity and accountability. We know that transparency is not only important, but necessary. We believe police are a part of the communities we serve, and we want those communities to be safe and healthy. LEAP speakers and staff fall across the spectrum of political beliefs. We are a nonpartisan organization in the truest sense. But we’re working toward our common goals of community trust and wellbeing, of a justice system that truly serves the people. Whatever your values or political beliefs may be, now is the time for action. Vote your conscience. Vote for a path forward for our communities. Vote for a better way to police. Vote on critical issues like bail reform, drug decriminalization and treatment access, access to psilocybin therapy, sentencing reform, marijuana legalization and regulation, and the restoration of voting rights. Please vote.* Our lives depend on it. In solidarity, Major Neill Franklin (Ret.) Executive Director *Be sure your vote is counted. Vote early, and if you are voting by absentee ballot, drop your ballot off in person if you can. |
