What Does Community Safety Look Like?
Sustainable community safety requires a fundamental shift in how cities approach problem-solving, moving away from a top-down systems approach and towards community-led solutions. In the first webinar of our “Co-Designing Community Justice” series, we heard from NYC Deputy Mayor for Community Safety Renita Francois and Vital City founder Elizabeth Glazer on how we can make that shift happen.
Drawing on the groundbreaking work of the Mayor’s Action Plan of Neighborhood Safety at the Office of Community Safety, this discussion explores why putting people with lived experience into positions of leadership can generate new opportunities and improve systems.
