bold idea

End systemic racism and police violence in America by developing cutting-edge, data-driven strategies to enact policy solutions.

organization overview

We The Protesters is building a scalable digital infrastructure to advance policy solutions at every level of government to end police violence in America. We The Protesters’ work equips communities with comprehensive data on police violence, evidence-based policy solutions, and cutting-edge tools and strategies to hold their elected representatives accountable for implementing these solutions. We The Protesters seeks to initially secure policies within America’s largest cities that end over-policing, restrict use of force, and strengthen community oversight. Longer term, We The Protesters aims to ensure these policies are implemented effectively to translate into meaningful reductions and, ultimately, the end of police violence.
