To support and help strengthen the work of advocates and organizers, the Hub is committed to providing and uplifting up-to-date research, reports, data, model policies, toolkits and other resources. We do this by searching for, categorizing, and making available existing resources from partner organizations and others working on issues related to policing. When needed, the Hub also produces its own research in collaboration with partners. This resource database is categorized, easy to search, and regularly updated by our research team.
If you would like to suggest a resource to be included in our database, please submit it here.
Resources that appear on the Community Resource Hub website are not necessarily supported or endorsed by the Hub. The resources that appear represent various different policies, toolkits, and data that have been presented to challenge issues relevant to safety, policing, and accountability.
Water Protector Legal Collective
A collection of legal resources geared towards those involved in water protector activism, including digital security and self-defense tools, your rights within immigration and border zones, and how to interact with law enforcement when demonstrating or if law enforcement comes to you.
Dignity & Power NOW
“Justicia de Sanación es un marco que identifica como podemos responder de manera holística e intervenir sobre el trauma y la violencia intergeneracional, y traer prácticas colectivas que puedan impactar y transformar las consecuencias de la opresión en nuestros cuerpos colectivos, corazones y mentes.” ~ Cara Page
Anti Police-Terror Project
“Developed by APTP’s First Responders Committee, this Guide describes our model for supporting families impacted by various forms of police terror and documenting abuses by police throughout the Bay Area. After an incident of state terror, we connect impacted families and community members with resources and legal referrals. We organize to respond to police murders and incidents of excessive force because we believe in the need to defend ourselves and our communities from violence.”
The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights
This toolkit is intended to help activists, organizations, and communities identify and act on solutions to change policing for the better in their own communities.
Detention Watch Network
A collection of information, tools, and resources on how to challenge the financial support that fuels discrimination against, detainment and deportation of immigrants. Stopping the flow of money is critical to stopping the anti-immigrant agenda. Now is the time to tell Congress to take the next step and cut funding to ICE and Customs and Border Patrol (CBP).
Movement for Black Lives
This toolkit explores the long history of struggles for reparations for Black people, lays out key facts, concepts, and international human rights law underlying reparations demands, and provides case studies of struggles for reparations at the institutional, local, state, and international levels. Our goal in creating this toolkit is to provide a foundational definition of what reparations is, to advance our argument that reparations for Black people in the United States is essential, to inform public discussion about reparations, and to support organizers seeking reparations at the local, national, and international level in order to advance our collective struggles for Black liberation.
Learning for Justice
Teachers have a unique window into the lives of students and, collectively, have been a powerful force of resistance in many vulnerable parts of the country. This toolkit offers a suggestion for how teachers can advocate for family members who have been detained as well as other useful resources that can help prepare and inform the entire school community.
The Policing and Social Justice Project at Brooklyn College
In order to reduce our reliance on the criminal justice system, we need to invest in building stronger communities capable of dealing with their problems in non-coercive and non-punitive ways. Across the US local and national organizations are working to divest from policing and prisons and invest in communities and individuals. This provides an example list of platforms, organizations, and other resources that aim to build stronger communities.
Dignity & Power NOW
“Healing Justice is a framework that identifies how we can holistically respond to and intervene on intergenerational trauma and violence, and to bring collective practices that can impact and transform the consequences of oppression on our collective bodies, hearts and minds.” -Cara Page
