Our approach is

Three-Fold

Our approach is three-fold: addressing the past by offering support to affected families, educating on legislative policies affecting policing in the present, and nurturing the next generation’s interest in justice and politics with integrity. What sets us apart is our focus on prevention strategies and our commitment to mental health, with bi-monthly Sista Checkins providing vital support to our dedicated members.
We’ve also compiled a nationwide directory of over 300 mobile crisis response teams across the country to offer alternatives to police intervention in mental health emergencies, significantly reducing the risk of harm. With academic and legislative recognition, we’re making a tangible impact.
Join us in supporting Black women as leaders in developing and executing prevention strategies to transform public safety, provide financial and emotional support to families impacted by police violence, and focus on mental wellness for the Black family.
