WHAT IS CAMPAIGN ZERO?
Today, we launch Campaign Zero, a comprehensive platform aimed to create systems and structures that will end police violence. Visit the website at http://joincampaignzero.org.
Campaign Zero is informed by the demands of protestors nationwide, the President's Task Force on 21st Century Policing, recommendations from research organizations and comprehensive data on the causes and impact of police violence.
Campaign Zero also includes local, state and federal policy agendas as well as a tracker for the 2016 Presidential Candidates.
We deeply value your thoughts and partnership. And while the current iteration of Campaign Zero was informed by many voices, please review the content in-depth and provide feedback. This is just the beginning, and we will continue to update the campaign with your rigorous solutions and ideas.
THE TIME IS NOW
A year after Mike Brown's murder, after more than 1,000 protests nationwide, we must continue to work together to develop and advocate for solutions to end police violence.
Right now, the country is awake. We must continue to leverage this awakening for substantive change. We have an opportunity to change the way that issues in blackness are prioritized in political spaces and an opportunity to redefine how the political process interacts with our communities.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
Click here to pledge your support for passing the comprehensive policies of Campaign Zero.
And over the next few weeks, we will host policy conference calls so that we can have deeper discussions about the content of Campaign Zero and receive your feedback. In the coming days, we will share more information about these policy calls and how you can join.
Together, we will win.
