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.
Mijente
Technology companies are working with ICE to increase arrests, detentions, and deportations. Mijente, Immigrant Defense Project, and National Immigration Project worked with Empower LLC to create this report exposing how tech is fueling the current deportation crisis.

Mijente
This report delves into great detail about these lucrative contracts and the web of insider connections bankrolling Palantir, in particular, the private data firm at the center of ICE operations. This is a disturbing reality that has largely evaded public scrutiny until now.
Immigrant Defense Project
As we work toward dismantling unjust systems, there is opportunity to highlight the intersections of our efforts and identify shared goals. This resource includes a chart of related demands across criminal and immigration issues aimed at reducing the number of people that enter, and releasing as many people as possible from jails and prisons, and detention centers. This is not a complete list, but rather a starting point for us all to consider our demands more broadly.
Muslim Justice League
This is a living toolkit of information on police reform, surveillance, immigration and policing, racial profiling, community oversight, and more within the Boston area. It also includes action items and ways to get involved.
Make the Road New York
This report examines in detail the experience of working-class immigrant, Black and Brown New Yorkers during this crisis. Based on a survey of 244 primarily Latinx immigrants across New York City, Long Island, and Westchester, one third of whom are undocumented, it provides striking findings related to the pandemic’s toll on community members’ health, income and work, housing insecurity, and education.
Lysistrata Mutual Care Collective & Fund
Lysistrata has been operating a fund for sex workers (SWs) since the shutdown of Backpage’s Adult Services Section (2016/2017), through SESTA/FOSTA (2018) and despite a major funding gap over the past 6 months. Now we are facing another crisis as the Covid-19 pandemic spreads. Lysistrata takes requests nationally but wants to support a new flurry of local SWs organizing emergency funds/resource distribution and be able to point folks who seek assistance to as many resources available to them as possible (a process hopefully aided by the creation of this doc).
Detention Watch Network
The government can and should release all people from immigration detention. The DWN has provided messaging guidance for taking on this task.
Immigrant Defense Project
The Playbook is a resource for advocates working at the intersection of mass deportation and mass incarceration. It offers messaging recommendations for some of the most prominent issues that face our communities, including: decriminalizing migration/humane treatment at the border, “sanctuary” policies, gang issues, people in state prisons, and ending detention. The Playbook also offers a set of provocative guest essays that outline the history of policy and messaging on ‘enforcement issues.’
Asian Americans Advancing Justice
Asian Americans have been targeted by racism and xenophobia related to the coronavirus or COVID-19. Asian Americans Advancing Justice offers the resources in response to this hate.
