Target: U.S. Congress and the President of the United States
Goal: We urge Congress and the President to reject manufactured crises, invest in proven crime prevention strategies, and restore funding to healthcare and community programs.
In recent months, there has been a renewed push to deploy federal troops in response to claims of rising crime. However, data shows that crime rates are actually declining in cities across the country. This rhetoric is a distraction from the real challenges Americans face, including the ongoing healthcare crisis and cuts to vital social programs.
Instead of using fear to justify militarized responses, our leaders should focus on evidence-based policies that make our communities safer and healthier. We call on Congress and the President to restore funding to violence prevention, mental health services, and healthcare, and to reject political stunts that undermine trust and safety.
