The People's Response Act, reintroduced by U.S. Representative Cori Bush, alongside Representatives Pramila Jayapal, Summer Lee, Morgan McGarvey, Ayanna Pressley, and Jan Schakowsky, emphasizes and adopts an inclusive, holistic and health-centered approach to public safety. This new approach to public safety will save lives and build systems of care that are rooted in improving the well-being of all communities. The data is clear: Black people know we must invest in community-safety solutions that work! 88% of Black Americans support hiring mental-health professionals as non-police first responders to de-escalate mental-health crises, and 89% of Black Americans support investing in community organizations that address local safety needs. The People's Response Act looks to expand solutions to harm and safety that our communities have long been championing and addresses some vital concerns for Black voters who widely support public-safety approaches that emphasize prevention, restorative justice, and mental-health resources. We know our current system of policing doesn't keep us safe and Black people are clearly expressing a need for different solutions. The People's Response Act presents a new paradigm for community safety. Contact your representatives and demand they sign on today!
