Formed in response to long-standing incidents of violence, crime, racial tensions, and the surge in COVID-19 related anti-Asian racism, the Coalition for Community Safety and Justice (CCSJ) works to identify and develop community-centered programmatic solutions to mitigate violence and hate across all communities of color. We recognize that carceral solutions are not the most effective way to resolve violence. Community building and cross-racial dialogue are necessary to provide violence prevention at the root source and yield sustainable solutions in the short and long-term.
