Public Safety

Our current approach to public safety is underfunded and often fails to rely on proven, evidence-based strategies, leaving many communities without the support they need. Everyone deserves to feel safe where they live, and that requires a system that’s built to actually serve people rather than just react to problems.

That means creating crisis intervention teams so law enforcement has trained support when responding to behavioral health emergencies, investing in community centers that offer essential services and give people real opportunities, and passing universal background checks, red flag laws, and waiting periods for all firearm purchases. These steps help build a public safety system that treats people fairly, strengthens communities, and keeps everyone safer.
