Community-Care Focused Work
Community Care models for Public Safety
ROAR’s Executive Director works with other local organizers to develop and implement safety plans that empower community members to take an active role in their own individual and collective safety.
These action plans often include providing ROAR volunteers as well as providing a Safety Lead, identifying a Police Contact and training and leading community members as marshals.
These models reduce contact with law enforcement and center the belief that we are strongest when we work collectively to protect one another and the spaces we occupy; we protect us.
