Caring for each other keeps us safe. Policing and prisons don’t. Join Reimagining Safety Michigan (RSM) and partners in creating a vision and pathway toward building a transformative, loving culture in Michigan.

Reimagining Safety Michigan (RSM) is publicly launching with two events!! For over a year and a half, the 9 organizations that make up RSM have convened to build a bold and beautiful vision and pathway for a Michigan that does not rely on policing and prisons, and instead moves us toward a culture of care, collective governance, and community accountability.

If you’re not familiar with RSM, check out their new and budding website to learn more about who they are and what they’re up to. This is just the beginning! At their Kick-off in April, they will launch a multitude of resources and tools they’ve created for and with community, inclusive of:

   * A Platform of Abolitionist Priorities for Michigan

   * Calls-to-Action in this election year for the Governor and Attorney  General

   * An accompanying Toolkit with a transformative evaluative rubric, voter education resources, and somatic exercises

   * A Power Map that maps the money and authority of the Michigan carceral system

   * A Landscape Map of abolitionist committed organizations + practitioners in Michigan

They truly cannot wait to share all of this with you and to break bread together! They are excited to be in conversation with you about *all* of the good work they’re collectively up to and they are grateful to offer these resources, especially during this particularly painful and chaotic time and context.

~YOU’RE INVITED~

You and your colleagues, networks, and communities are invited to join for a Kick-off and Training on April 12th and a Mass Convening for abolitionist practitioners and groups on May 16th. Check out the Events Page for more info and to register in advance! They can’t wait to see you there!
