John,

Earlier this summer, Rep. Cori Bush introduced the People’s Response Act,
a bill that adopts a new approach to public safety that will save lives,
and build systems of care that are rooted in improving the well-being of
all communities.

[ [link removed] ]Women are leading the fight against mass incarceration. Join us
TOMORROW at 7 pm EST to hear about how the People’s Response Act would
support community-based models of public safety from some of the women
leading the way!

Color Of Change has launched the Communities Keep Communities Safe series
to support the passage of the People’s Response Act and talk to some of
the groups redefining public safety in their own communities. Every
Wednesday in July at 7PM EST/4PST, go to the Color Of Change Facebook page
to hear from organizers who have developed, implemented and scaled
alternatives to safety that are based in, and run by, community
organizers.

Last week, we heard from Black gun violence prevention advocates who are
transforming communities through community-led solutions. Tomorrow, hear
from women who have been the vanguard of creating alternative models of
community safety in a conversation moderated by Andrea James, the founder
and Executive Director of the National Council for Currently and Formerly
Incarcerated Women and Girls .

Any approach that centers punishment as a tool of public safety
jeopardizes the health of whole communities and puts the people in those
communities at extreme risk. [ [link removed] ]RSVP now to learn more about how
organizers have built holistic alternatives to public safety and how the
People’s Response Act will grow these efforts.

Until justice is real,

McKayla, Erick, and the rest of the COC team
