The DOJ's Bureau of Justice Assistance has awarded the grants to organizations and municipalities to "Reduce serious and violent crime" and "Make neighborhoods safer" under its 2021 Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation Program.
The UPI has called for the "Radical restructuring" of American policing, including shifting power from police to community "Peacemakers." The nonprofit was instrumental in progressive Los Angeles DA George Gascon's criminal justice changes in the city, according to a report.
"In December 2020, newly-elected Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon unveiled sweeping changes to the criminal justice system in Los Angeles County," the California Wellness Foundation reported.
"These groundbreaking changes were a direct result of decades of tireless advocacy, education, awareness-raising and research by activists, grassroots organizations and community members in Los Angeles County. Among these grassroots groups were the Urban Peace Institute, a grantee in our Community Well-Being portfolio, which has championed community-led solutions to public safety, justice and public health for over 17 years." Amid the anti-police protests and rioting roiling Democrat-led cities following the May 2020 death of George Floyd, UPI urged radical overhaul of law enforcement and the criminal justice system.
"Change is only going to come from a seismic shift in power away from police, police unions, and the justice system towards a transformative investment in community-led safety and health solutions," UPI proclaimed on its website.
Another taxpayer-funded award of $1 million was given to the Center for Court Innovation, previously the Fund for the City of New York, to increase safety in the Bronx by empowering "public safety, violence prevention, youth services, community organizing, urban planning and public health strategies ..." CCI stated in the award documents it will also use the funds to address the "deep-rooted and generational issues of community violence ..." "We design and implement bail reform strategies to reduce the use of jail and increase the fairness of the justice system," CCI declares in its Rethinking Incarceration policy.
CCI's Manhattan Justice program wants a more fair criminal justice system and believes that transformation is needed in response to criminal activity.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
