We will keep saying it: cops go free because they are protected. That’s how our system works and has always worked.
When it comes to justice, real justice... it will never come from our criminal legal system, it’ll come from us. Keeping our communities safe doesn’t mean more police or policing our communities. It means building our power to dismantle a system built to protect police and build toward a new vision of safety that allows our communities to thrive.
Join us in supporting communities around the country to reimagine safety by making a donation to Advancement Project today.
Support from people like you enables us to take on projects that help shift public opinion to create openings for local change to occur. That includes our recent three-part video series How Cops Get Off—exposing how our culture, laws, institutions and the people who run them prop up corrupt police and shield cops from accountability.
Your gift today will enable us to build on this work by providing hands-on support to communities organizing to challenge voter suppression laws, dismantle the school-to-prison pipeline, and build police-free communities.
Help power that work—click here to chip in now.
The only way forward is to demand accountability by investing in us. That’s why our Justice Project continues to support grassroots movements in communities of color that aim to challenge laws, policies, and practices that feed the carceral state, reimagine public safety, and change the narrative on safety and subvert the narratives of criminalization
Will you make an investment today in the movement for justice? Every donation makes an impact, and everyone who chips in helps make us stronger.
Thank you for sharing your strength and solidarity.
In Solidarity,
Judith Browne Dianis
Executive Director
