The Community Safety Agenda is a joint project of more than 50 civil rights, public health, racial justice, housing, violence prevention, economic justice, and allied organizations nationwide dedicated to building safety that works for all communities. Since releasing our first agenda in 2022, our goal has been to advance a new paradigm that invests in people and communities, not police and prisons, to keep people safe. We pursue this mission through federal appropriations, federal legislation, and support to grassroots organizations that are advancing this work at the state and local levels.
