Just as our hearts are heavy at this moment, we're also feeling a fire that moves us to stand in strategic followership of our partners who have taken lead roles in reimagining our systems: the Alliance for Boys and Men of Color (ABMoC).
We are asking all Partnership Members and supporters to support the C.R.I.S.E.S. Act today. This bill would create a pilot to fund community-based organizations' responses to emergencies, as an alternative option to police. For survivors who fear separation, deportation, or incarceration, this creates an important alternative for safety.
We deeply believe that it is possible to call for better policing AND envision new systems of accountability."
