Mothers Against Police Brutality

Mothers Against Police Brutality (MAPB) was founded in 2013 to prevent the use of police deadly force, particularly the killing of Black people and other people of color; to change deadly force and related policies and practices; to advocate for and with families who have lost loved ones to police violence; to hold accountable officers who kill; and to expand the concept of public safety beyond policing by limiting encounters between police and the public – and by making deep social investments in housing, health care, mental health services, employment, education, arts, recreation, and other presently unmet human needs.
