The trauma and lingering effects of community violence and issues of public safety impact us all, whether we are the victim, the perpetrator or a part of the larger community. A chronic lack of targeted investments and the inability to respond in a holistic way to the needs of communities has brought us to where we are today.
As your councilmember, I want to work with you to create a Ward and city where we can:
- Address the root causes of violence and crime and focus on holistic, community-centered solutions;
- Invest in prevention, intervention and appropriate responses
- Ensure that we have an adequate police force that can effectively serve our community; investing in training and best practices to reduce harm caused by police and continuing to modernize our police force to enable positive partnerships with the community
- Refocus our systems on a more people-centered approach to violence and public safety
- Balance our public safety funding to include more robust violence interrupter staffing and community intervention programming.
