Fwd: [ACN] Council vote on HEART alternative public safety proposal
by raryals 24 May '21

24 May '21

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Lee Farris <Lee(a)leefarris.net> Date: Sun, May 23, 2021 at 10:30 PM Subject: [ACN] Council vote on HEART alternative public safety proposal To: Cambridge Neighborhood Association Google Group < association-of-cambridge-neighborhoods(a)googlegroups.com> Cc: FPRA Google Group <fresh-pond-residents-alliance(a)googlegroups.com> [image: Cambridge Residents Alliance] <http://www.cambridgeresidentsalliance.org/?e=835b584ea5691060adfb4341f39291…> Cambridge Residents Alliance <http://www.cambridgeresidentsalliance.org/?e=835b584ea5691060adfb4341f39291…> Dear neighbor: The Black Response, in collaboration with many organizations, including the Cambridge Residents Alliance, have produced the ‌Holistic‌ ‌Emergency‌ ‌Alternative‌ ‌Response‌ ‌Team (HEART) Proposal <https://www.cambridgeresidentsalliance.org/r?u=FHnL8ikUv8WviObJjkW8kdWOxpTb…>, a proposal for an alternate public safety program with emergency response, transformative justice, and restorative justice components. The Black Response is a collective of Black and Brown Cambridge residents who have sought to organize and uplift the voices of residents of color in Cambridge on policy issues including public safety. The HEART Program was created out of a community demand of Black, Brown and low-income communities in Cambridge to create an alternative to policing systems in our city, after the police murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Tony McDade. At the City Council meeting on Mon. 5/24 at 5:30pm, *please speak in support of Policy Order #3 <https://cambridgema.iqm2.com/Citizens/Detail_LegiFile.aspx%3FFrame=%26Meeti…>, the new HEART proposal for an alternative public safety program*. You can sign up to speak here <https://www.cambridgema.gov/Departments/CityCouncil/PublicCommentSignUpForm> . In addition to speaking, *please let the City Council know your thoughts, in your own words,* by emailing council(a)cambridgema.gov <planningboardcomment(a)cambridgema.gov>, and copy the Clerk at clerk(a)cambridgema.gov. Please BCC me, lee(a)leefarris.net, so we can know how many emails were sent. The HEART program was built out of a collaborative community process with impacted community members in Cambridge, along with service providers and community organizations. A central value of the HEART program is the employment and leadership of impacted communities within the program, such as Black communities, disabled communities, communities of color, houseless communities and youth communities. The City Manager’s Public Safety Task Force began meeting in Sept. 2020 and has now released its own recommendations <https://cambridgema.iqm2.com/Citizens/Detail_LegiFile.aspx%3FFrame=%26Meeti…> for an alternative Dept. of Community Safety. Policy Order #3 requests that the City Manager ask the Public Safety Task Force join with the coalition of groups that developed the HEART proposal to participate in the coalition’s collective process, and establish a final implementation plan and funding by August 2, 2021. Thanks for taking action, Lee Farris, President Cambridge Residents Alliance: *Working for a Livable, Affordable and Diverse Cambridge* Cambridge Residents Alliance http://www.cambridgeresidentsalliance.org/ <http://www.cambridgeresidentsalliance.org/?e=835b584ea5691060adfb4341f39291…> Cambridge Residents Alliance · PO Box 390487, Cambridge, MA 02139, United States You can also keep up with Cambridge Residents Alliance on Twitter <https://www.cambridgeresidentsalliance.org/r?u=7Sn_jlQ3J2wHxMyMtp8UNLiPvqV0…> or Facebook <https://www.cambridgeresidentsalliance.org/r?u=27Ax0UmWOX2J8J_QwK9Z6td_fCL0…> .
