ABOUT US
We assist communities in building a new safety infrastructure that shifts away from police reliance.
Our mission
The Detroit Safety Team works to redefine safety, engage conflict, and create intentional structures of social practice that support community-centered healing.
Our vision
We envision a world without police and prisons.
One where communities are self reliant—where it is understood that we have the capacity to rely on ourselves and our community to stay safe and handle harm productively.
We envision a future where communities are sustainably self-sufficient, and safety is a social skill, not a punitive system of control.
