Community
up
Community Up is designed to support community members interested in building equitable public safety systems that can exist beyond the burden and trauma of racist law enforcement policies and training. This program provides data-driven insights that make policing’s most persistent problems easy to see. It also equips community members with the resources, knowledge, and platform-sharing skills necessary to advance their grassroots public safety work. Community Up is both a program and a space through which activists and policymakers can ideate, support one another, and advance public safety research and policy.
Initiatives
National Pan-Hellenic Council
In 2024, CPE launched a new partnership with Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., an international historically Black fraternity, to implement programming focused on improving community education and public safety redesign efforts in the communities the organization serves. Through this pilot initiative, CPE provides technical assistance, educational information, and resources to aid the members in their community engagement work. In doing so, CPE supports the organization in developing sustainable advocacy models and community resources aimed at undoing the harms caused by inequitable public safety systems.
