USA Today and our friends at the Marshall Project made a great video about our program in Newark, which is bridging communities of color and police and breaking cycles of trauma. Please take a moment to watch the video and share it with your family and friends.
By creating space for the authentic, lived experiences of community members and police officers to see each other as human beings, our program in Newark is building understanding and respect and is challenging racism and other forms of oppression. As you can see, these honest conversations lift up common threads of trauma among those both inside the system and those impacted by it, and it builds pathways toward transformation paved by empathy and understanding.
These are the bold spaces that are part of a movement that can stem the tides of violence in communities and help all of us imagine something new that can deliver safety, healing, and accountability for all.
