Excerpt:

Jaime Martinez, director of Frontline Dignity, said in a statement that township leadership “did something important last night: It listened to its community and changed its course.”

“Our police officers should be people our neighbors can call when they are afraid, not people they are afraid to call,” he added.

Take Action

You can make a difference.

It's okay to start small.

Action is the antidote to fear and despair.
