We are friends, family, and neighbors who want community-led solutions to public safety in Greenfield, Massachusetts. We want programs that reduce harm and meet people’s real needs. Other cities are having great success with community-led, holistic public safety programs, and we want the same thing here.

We also want the residents of Greenfield to have a say in how we make our town a safe, thriving, and just community.

We propose a participatory budgeting process to shape these programs. Through neighborhood assemblies, community surveys, and votes, we will tell the town our ideas and our priorities. Let’s make town programs accountable to the community.
