Description:A groundbreaking new vision for public safety that overturns more than 200 years of fear-based discrimination, othering, and punishmentAs the effects of aggressive policing and mass incarceration harm historically marginalized communities and tear families apart, how do we define safety? In a time when the most powerful institutions in the United States are embracing the repressive and racist systems that keep many communities struggling and in fear, we need to reimagine what safety means.Community leader and lawyer Zach Norris lays out a radical way to shift the conversation about public safety away from fear and punishment and toward growth and support systems for our families and communities.

This is where real safety begins.We Keep Us Safe is a blueprint of how to hold people accountable while still holding them in community.
