Sharing the Load: How to Empower and Leverage Diverse Expertise to Expand First Response
2024-02-28 12:00 - 13:30 UTC
Join The Council of State Governments Justice Center on February 28 at 12 p.m. ET for a virtual event
discussing community responder programs and their impact across the nation. With support from the
Joyce Foundation, “Sharing the Load: How to Empower and Leverage Diverse Expertise to Expand First
Response” will feature remarks from Chief John Moon of Freedom House Ambulance Service and
Pittsburgh EMS, as well as a panel discussion from select members of the Expanding First Response
National Commission.
The panel of experts will speak about their efforts to enact community responder programs through
collaboration that brings together diverse voices and leaders. Many of these successful efforts will be
highlighted in the upcoming Expanding First Response National Commission report.
Freedom House Ambulance Service, led by Black community members in Pittsburgh, PA, pioneered
emergency response and community responder efforts in Pittsburgh and the nation as one of America’s
first emergency medical technicians. Chief Moon was also the first paramedic to perform an out-of-
hospital endotracheal intubation. His work, and the work of other leaders of Freedom House, succeeded
because they leveraged relationships within the community to expand first response in Pittsburgh using
community medical responders.

Strategies to Track Public Policy and Advocate Effectively
2023-09-21 11:00 - 12:00 UTC
WHEN
Thursday, September 21 at 2:00pm ET

WHAT
How does 1 Million Madly Motivated Moms (1M4) track public policy and advocate for their cause of ending police violence and reducing harm in Black communities? Join Tansy McNulty, the Founder & CEO of 1M4 and Damola Ogundipe, the CEO & Co-Founder of Plural, to discuss how 1M4 uses Plural to track policy and advocate effectively.
WHO
Tansy McNulty | Founder & CEO, 1 Million Madly Motivated Moms
Tansy McNulty is the Founder and CEO of 1 Million Madly Motivated Moms (1M4). 1M4 empowers Black Moms to end police violence by the year 2038 through legislative policy education, financial assistance to impacted families, and encouraging the next generation of Black youth to pursue roles in the justice system & politics with integrity. This type of activism and organizing requires that Black Moms protect their greatest weapon in the fight… their mental health. 1M4 gives Moms a place to air their frustrations with recurring police violence, create solutions that have measurable impact, and prioritize their mental health to maintain peace of mind despite the chaos of inequality. With a background in Corporate Supply Chain Management, emphasis on cost reduction and process improvement initiatives, Tansy is a problem solver who simply wants to save Black lives and create a more equitable justice system.
Damola Ogundipe | Founder & CEO, Plural
Damola Ogundipe is the Co-Founder and CEO of Plural (formerly Civic Eagle). Plural creates cutting-edge software to make it easy for public policy data to be discoverable, interpretable, and collaborative. Born in Lagos, Nigeria, Damola and his family immigrated to the US when he was six years old. From a young age, Damola was interested in global perspectives, politics, and how the world is governed. Frustrated by the lack of civic engagement in the US, Damola and his co-founders created Civic Eagle, leveraging public-access data to create easy ways for global citizens to engage and express their opinions on how they want to be governed.

1M4 Partners with Right To Be and ANJEL Tech for Anti-Black Police Violence Bystander Training
2023-08-29 09:30 - 11:00 UTC
In response to the persistent police violence against Black communities, 1 Million Madly Motivated Moms (1M4), Right To Be (formerly Hollaback!), and ANJEL Tech have joined forces to offer free training Bystander Intervention: How to Safely Intervene and Respond in the face of Anti-Black-Police sponsored Violence
The 75-minute, interactive training will train people on how to safely intervene and respond in the face of anti-Black police-sponsored violence and interact with guest speakers who are impacting the fight against police brutality. The training will focus on three of the 5Ds of bystander intervention: delegate, document, and delay. We’ll begin by reflecting on what anti-Black police-sponsored violence looks like and why it repeatedly exists. We’ll talk about the types of violence and racism Black people are facing right now — from examples of microaggressions to murder. We’ll also talk about how anti-Black racism is so ingrained into the fabric of our society that we see it present in all forms, from everyday tasks or activities to larger societal institutions. Then, discuss the deep impact harassment, violence, and the constant threat of violence has on Black communities.
You’ll learn what to look for and the positive impact that bystander intervention has on individuals and communities. The training will conclude with a practice and questions and answers section.

Be sure to join our email list so you are made aware of upcoming events, weekly mental health insights and informed of our work towards an end police violence.
