Community Safety Workgroup
This workgroup is an attempt to put together a replicable process for communities to build security and safety beyond the societally proscribed police state and institutional apparatus. This is a structured workshop to plan ways to keep our communities safe at all levels. Accountability, education and public perception, community crisis response, cops and alternatives, domestic & sexual violence, connected communities, and making the police obsolete.

We will discuss what some of the small workgroups are doing and have done. We will talk about our vision for a world without coercive authority. We will work on creating new efforts and projects that provide safety in our communities.

    "We seek to document the abuse of authority and highlight the double standard that some grant to those with badges. By documenting police actions... we encourage transparency and hold police accountable. If you are familiar with CopWatch projects, this is a way of documenting what we see when we are watching"
