Policing, criminalization, and mass incarceration are primary civil rights issues of our time.
Now more than ever,
tackling discriminatory policing practices and the injustices they perpetuate is critical to achieving racial, gender, economic and social justice, and to bringing us closer to our vision of becoming a society that universally respects, promotes, and protects civil and human rights.
Policing by the Numbers
Topics of Concern
We all have a role to play in
resisting infringements on civil
and human rights through
policing practices.
While politicians, police chiefs and police unions hold significant power over policing, each of us also has the power, individually and collectively, to effect change through grassroots organizing, policy advocacy, and civic engagement.
