@vanitaguptaCR: This moment requires we envision a new public safety paradigm that respects human rights of all.

@vanitaguptaCR: It means shifting our approach to public safety away from exclusive investments in criminalization & policing, and toward investments in economic opportunity, education, health care & more.
