| Description: | The killings of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Daniel Prude and more had a catalyzing effect on the nation, and the world in 2020. Their legacies sparked the social justice uprising of a generation. We expressed our demands for justice through protests and rallies in the street, through grassroots organizing, and through virtual and social media teach-ins. We all took part in a long-overdue national discussion about systemic racism and police violence—from the streets to corporate boardrooms to the halls of law and justice. Our conversations revealed justice requires equity, and equity requires accountability. The 21 Pillars for Redefining Public Safety and Restoring Community Trust address each of those needs. This Toolkit serves as a resource for organizers and community leaders on the local, state, and national levels to elevate our movement of protest to policymaking. We believe that by providing resources and model legislation and policies, and by elevating the solutions already underway, we can support community leaders, activists, and elected officials in their efforts to redefine public safety and restore community trust. The 21 Pillars are intended to serve as a policy menu where you identify what would best work in your community. Each reform included is not ideal for each community, and some communities have already addressed some of the reforms. Community discussion and activation is critical here. We suggest you review the 21 Pillars and prioritize what would best serve your state or community and devise your plan of action accordingly. The 21 Pillars are organized into five themes. For each theme, the Toolkit identifies relevant examples of state and local action taking place. The final section of this Toolkit includes sample legislation and police policies from around the country that can be helpful where you are. |
