WIN is organizing for safe communities with net zero homicides.
Big Picture/Goals
Communities directly affected by violence should be at the center shaping solutions and have the resources they need to thrive. We want our elected officials to work with WIN and ally organizations to:
- Fully fund and implement the reforms set forth in the Police Reform Commission Report April 1, 2021 that includes: increasing the number of “violence interrupters”, dispatching mental health providers in response to 911 calls involving people in crisis, investment in evidence based culturally competent behavioral health and wellness services, and a holistic public health approach to school safety that is relational, racially just, restorative, trauma responsive and trauma informed including additional school counselors and clinicians.
- Support the Redefinition of Child Amendment Act of 2021
