GARE Public Resources

“Like the maple, leaders are the first to offer their gifts. It reminds the whole community that leadership is rooted not in power and authority, but in service and wisdom."     – Robin Wall Kimmer, Braiding Sweetgrass

Building Root Solutions for Public Safety seeks to provide a platform for sharing reflective pieces about the drivers of root solutions to mass incarceration while inspiring debate and discussion. Our commitment is to practice values of cultural healing and racial justice and feature content curated and crafted in partnership with justice system-impacted people, front-line government practitioners, and families. Our contributors practice rigorous debate while offering practical and strategic solutions and analysis in service of advancing racial equity in the criminal legal system in the immediate term and ending mass incarceration in the long term.
