ACT 4 SA Action Fund's Path to Police Accountability and Systemic Change

Mission

ACT 4 SA Action Fund is dedicated to reimagining public safety and shrinking the carceral system (both policing and prisons). Through grassroots lobbying, we move community members and decision makers alike to take direct action in creating a more accountable, compassionate, and transparent public safety system that truly values justice and equity for all in San Antonio and across Bexar County.

Rationale

Rationale: ACT 4 SA Action Fund believes that lobbying and legislative change must go along grassroots action for true reform. We cannot limit any avenues of change- therefore it is critical to be involved in the legislative process.

our pillars of work

Police accountability

Supporting candidates and policies that support increased oversight of law enforcement, implementing stronger discipline for misconduct, ending qualified immunity, and require law enforcement policies and procedures to be transparent to the public. This includes fighting against policies & candidates that chip this away.

Reimagining Public Safety

Supporting candidates and policies that support harm reduction, restorative & transformative justice, decriminalization of our communities, and lay a path to build alternatives to mass incarceration & policing as the answer to public safety. Alternatively, fighting against policies and candidates that erode or block these initiatives.

Justice for All

Supporting candidates and policies that protect civil rights, and/or expand equality, dignity, equity, and access to resources for all diverse communities to combat over-criminalization and build a true path to community safety. This includes fighting against legislation or candidates that oppose these ideals or erode the civil rights protections of people.
