For families with loved ones incarcerated or who are survivors of crime, the holidays can feel especially heavy. The Prison Journalism Project recently highlighted the voices of incarcerated folks and staff during this time of the year. https://t.co/D32w5OtfFu

Thank you to Mult. Co. for doubling down on sanctuary protections and funding immigrant legal aid to keep families together, uphold due process, and reject fear-based policies. #pdx #safety #community https://t.co/5TGjXrmk9W

At Partnership for Safety and Justice, we believe victims need a system that connects them to healthcare, mental health support, and safe, stable housing — without forcing them through the criminal justice system after harm. Join the movement at https://t.co/GeKyrRUDao.

The City of Gresham proves that stable housing is the key to public safety. With a 74% reduction in its unsheltered population over the last decade, the city provides case management and housing stability, while ensuring long-term success. https://t.co/q0V86H0Wi9

Public safety means keeping families together. Family separation is deeply damaging; for a child, losing their parent in an instant is terrifying. For the parent, it’s a shattering loss that simply no policy can justify. This isn’t safety. https://t.co/KG7RHQULrx

Crime survivors deserve meaningful accountability, but their needs are often overlooked by lengthy prison sentences. Here's why we're urging for a public safety system rooted in healing, accountability, and restoration:

Clackamas County’s new 24/7 Crisis Stabilization Center in Milwaukie connects people experiencing a mental health crisis to treatment and wraparound services — offering alternatives to jails and emergency rooms.

If you see a Street Roots vendor, please pick up a copy! 💌 Read the early impacts of #Portland's new “camping” ban. PSJ's Executive Director Andy Ko emphasizes the harm of criminalizing #homelessness and #poverty. https://t.co/KpTFpytfZO

When people most impacted by policy decisions have a seat at the table, we can build public safety systems that truly work for our communities. Take action at https://t.co/WtoKwlYwxw.

Portland’s new camping ban pushes people in crisis further into harm. We deserve a public safety system that expands deflection and connects people to housing, treatment, and wraparound services instead of punishment. https://t.co/AmoSw8uwgs

Urge Portland City and County leaders to take two simple steps: 1️⃣ Expand deflection eligibility 2️⃣ Connect people from deflection into housing and recovery Act now at https://t.co/WtoKwlXYHY.

Portland is facing rising costs, benefit cuts, and a new camping ban. We need to connect people in crisis to housing, treatment, and stability. Urge city leaders to expand deflection criteria so that more people can access services – including housing.

As Portland’s camping ban takes effect November 1, Partnership for Safety and Justice (PSJ) is urging City and County leaders to rise to the moment by bringing the city together around practical, compassionate solutions that work. https://t.co/bSz0jTurqi

FSAP is an example of a local solution to reduce harm and build a public safety that we truly deserve. Learn more about how we can rethink policing and prosecution to better serve women, families, and communities:

That’s why we successfully fought to protect Oregon’s Family Sentencing Alternative Program (FSAP), a prison diversion program that allows parents to be accountable for harm while still raising their kids with access to wraparound services.

Oregonians deserve solutions that deliver meaningful accountability, repair harm, and keep families together. Incarcerating mothers destabilizes families and communities — and it doesn’t make us safer.

PSJ’s report, When We Tell Our Stories, explores what survivors of color need in the aftermath of trauma — and how we can build systems that truly meet those needs. Read the report at https://t.co/eoEgiH71Jc.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Every survivor deserves healing, safety, and accountability. Yet, the experiences and needs of survivors of color have been overlooked in shaping public safety systems and services.

We need to keep expanding evidence-based programs like LEAD to connect and support people with wraparound services.
