We assist communities in building a new safety infrastructure that shifts away from police reliance.
We are an abolitionist organization.
We must re-define safety. The policing system is dangerous for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. We seek a new definition of safety—one that refuses systemically racist practices and supports a framework for equity.
Our Services
Working closely with neighborhoods, we build and teach holistic and humane safety methods and tools.
Workshops, Trainings & Consultation
Pre-designed workshops and training that aim to share tools and skills with communities and organizations to increase individual and collective capacity to support safety and intervene in crisis.
Transformative Processes
Processes (RJ Circles, community accountability, mediation, etc.) are used to reshape a moment of conflict, harm, or violence. Supporting those harmed and responsible for beginning a journey of healing and accountability.
Event Support
Staffing of Detroit Safety Team members during events (including public, private, in-person, and virtual) to support the safety of attendees, participants and event hosts, and prevent potentially harmful or dangerous situations from escalating for the duration of the event.
