It’s been one year since George Floyd’s murder, since hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets to protest the systemic racism that killed him.
Though we’re seeing change, it’s not enough. Frankly, it won’t be enough until every Black person no longer fears for their life while buying something at a convenience store, while at a traffic stop, while sleeping in her own bed… it won’t be enough until every Black person can live their life without fear of dying at the hands of law enforcement.
That’s why we need your help to support our work today. Now is the time for all of us to demand justice for the Black community and accountability for law enforcement. Will you join us with a gift?
At The Leadership Conference, we’re rethinking policing entirely to usher in a brand new era of public safety — one that invests in areas that truly make us safer, like the roads we use and the schools our children attend, rather than police.
Our New Era of Public Safety initiative offers groundbreaking tools for community members and organizers to increase trust, fairness, justice, and mutual respect between police departments and the people they serve, advocating fiercely for policies that hold police accountable, and so much more.
Give today to propel this initiative forward and bring us one step closer toward an America that universally respects, promotes, and protects civil and human rights.
P.S. One year after the protests began, we know our nation’s approach to public safety — and who it protects — is still at odds with our shared values of fairness, equity, and justice, and it remains entrenched in white supremacy. That’s why we need advocates like you to help create an entirely new system, one that works for everyone. Please make a donation today.
