The COMMUNITY SAFETY ACT (A.K.A. CSA)
Also known as the Community Police Relations Act, this ordinance is NOT about improving community & police relationship, but rather about holding Providence Police Department accountable for the harm & violence they inflict on our community. Check our Resources page for full policy changes or check out the CSA website!
the SEARR Campaign
The SEARR (Southeast Asian Relief & Responsibility) Campaign continues a decades long effort to free our people from generational cycles of displacement and heal our communities from this collective trauma. We embark on a multi-year campaign aiming to win concrete relief for our people by 2025, which marks the 50th year anniversary of the end of the US wars in Southeast Asia. This campaign seeks to hold the U.S. accountable for the harm and violence inflicted on our people.
Counselors NOT Cops:
: Rethinking school safety
Counselors Not Cops (CNC) is the demand to remove all School Resource Officers (SROs) from Providence Public schools, and instead hire health and safety staff focused on alternative measures for conflict resolution. Our goal is to create safe and healthy schools through Positive Safety and Conduct strategies, which includes hiring health and safety staff who focus on alternative measures for conflict resolution.
