Brainstorm about a world w/o police, where people provide for each others' safety
- More community involvement and personal investment in community
- Having phone trees/knowledge about neighbors
- more confidence in our ability to care for each other
- Hapiness, friendliness
- Safety for everyone - not just the wealthy or housed
- taking responsibility whenever anything wrong is going on- no matter who it is
- an understanding in the general public not just of the benefits of police but also the risks- juducial process, lack of control
- Fluidity and communication between classes
- Skillsets for non-coercive compassionate conflict resolution
- knowing you can rely on the ppl around you to help you in case of emergency
- accountability for our own actions
- safety vs security- a sense of stability and security so there's no need for desperate choices
- Autonomy
- Mutual support, solidarity
- Home to mean more than house- desire for feeling of community in neighborhood
- community resiliency- friendship for strong communities, more gatherings
- common medical knowledge/health knowledge (mental, physical, environmental)
- knowing that my wolrd won't be poisoned
- healing and workshops w herbs and spirit- first responder skills, accessible knowledge.
- Change in the rigidity of laws- more case-to-case decision making
- Knowing that the members of my comm. have similar interests and goals
- sharing health knowledge
- elimination of the specialization of the cop role- more generalized participation from everyone rather than a select few holding all the power
- need separation between different sets of knowledge- EMTs, firefighters, cops, Red Cross,
- no sexism, more honor for crones and older women
