2015: Secure Communities
The Harm Free Zone organizing committee, the Audre Lorde Project, Philly Stands Up and CUAV (Communities United Against Violence) inspire thousands of similar community safety groups across the country. The community meetings central to these efforts also allow for public dialogue on racism, class inequality, sexism and homophobia.
