Congressional Black Caucus Advocates for Community-Based Public Safety Strategies

Congressional Black Caucus Advocates for Community-Based Public Safety Strategies

Members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) and leaders from major U.S. cities have come together to promote community-based investments as a more effective approach to public safety than punitive federal enforcement strategies. During a virtual roundtable hosted by the Vera Institute of Justice, participants, including U.S. Rep. Shontel Brown and Baltimore Mayor Brandon M. Scott, discussed evidence-based methods for reducing violence. They criticized the Trump administration's focus on military deployments and immigration enforcement, arguing these are ineffective for addressing public safety challenges. The discussion highlighted the success of local officials in achieving public safety gains through community investments rather than punitive measures.
