WHO WE ARE
ACT 4 SA is the leading grassroots criminal justice organization in San Antonio, with a strong focus on policing in our community. We are the only organization in San Antonio focused solely on fighting over-criminalization & over-policing.
WHAT WE DO
We continue the fight for public safety. The people of San Antonio have spoken: we want a truly accountable, compassionate and transparent public safety system that works for everyone. We’re dedicated to just that.
Our Values
Community Commitments
01.
Trust Black & Indigenous Women
We aim to follow the grounded assessments, intuition, and guidance of Black & Indigenous women as a practice of trust.
02.
Gender Justice
We must commit to equity for non-male, non-hetero, and non-cis people and protect them from harm, including being targeted by the criminal legal system.
03.
inclusion
We must not play into the politics of “othering” any other group of people but instead seek liberation for all oppressed people.
04.
Movement Ecosystem
Three big, interdependent transformations must work together to achieve abolition: changing our relationships with ourselves and each other (personal transformation); Building enough people power to dismantle the politics, entrenched interests, and institutions of the criminal legal system (organizing); and creating new visions of our communities that have new norms, new institutions and new ways of responding to harm (building alternatives).
05.
Communities of Reciprocity
We are reviving the concepts of communities built on deep connections and practices of giving, gratitude, and mutuality.
