Online Resources

Many of us are wondering how we can take action to make positive changes regarding racial inequality and excessive police force. Here is a brief list of websites illustrating some of the steps you can take, resources you can seek out, and also an in-depth toolkit on how to approach improving our justice system and public safety for everyone. We hope these resources are helpful in bringing about meaningful change in our community and throughout the country.
