OVERVIEW​

In 2019, The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, Civil Rights Corps, and 120 other organizations nationwide came together to envision a new, non-carceral paradigm for public safety that respects the humanity, dignity, and human rights of all people. 

Today, we are taking the platform to the next phase and launching a campaign that can turn this policy vision into a political reality. Our goal is to build a community — of advocates, grassroots activists, policymakers, business leaders, educators, artists, athletes, and people eager to make a difference — that can help amplify the urgent need for a new paradigm of public safety.

Together, we must urge them to build a new, non-carceral paradigm for public safety that keeps all communities truly safe.

Nearly half a million people sit in jail not because they have been convicted of a crime, but because they are detained pretrial
