It's past time we transform public safety,
John.

Last weekend, Cori visited Denver, Colorado to learn how Denver's STAR and
Safe Outdoor Spaces programs keep the community safe and prioritize care
instead of criminalization.

The STAR program is a pilot program that sends licensed social workers and
health professionals to respond to mental health and substance use crises,
and the Safe Outdoor Spaces program provides non-carceral, health-focused
housing support to unhoused members of the Denver community. These
programs take a common sense approach to public safety and put people
first.

Story after story and statistic after statistic show that programs like
these that treat public safety as a public health issue and bring real
justice to our communities are successful.

This is something that can be a reality in St. Louis — and in states
around the country. That's why Cori introduced her new bill, the People's
Response Act, to invest in community-led, health-based investments in
public safety.

you support Cori's work to save lives in Congress, will you make a
donation of $5 or more today to power Cori's work to
transform our system of public safety? We will not all be safe until the
current system of policing as we know it does not exist.

Too often, people needing help for a mental health crisis or substance
abuse disorder are thrown out onto the streets or put in jails, which can
lead to compounded traumas. Instead, we can view public safety through
intersectional lenses which also address health care, immigration,
education equity, decarceration, gun violence and trauma prevention, and
intimate partner violence.

John, Cori is
passionate about this fight because as someone who has been unhoused and
worked in mental health services as a nurse, Cori knows our communities
deserve better.

[ [link removed] ]Cori won't stop until we've transformed public safety and until every
person that needs help in our communities is met with compassion. Can you
make a $5 donation to show your support for Cori's work to
save lives?

Thank you for your support,

Team Cori
