Join the discussion of this year’s UUA Common Read, Defund Fear: Safety Without Policing, Prisons, and Punishment by Zach Norris (Beacon Press, 2021), in our library or via this Zoom link. Zach Norris shifts the conversation about public safety away from fear and punishment and toward growth and support systems for our families and communities. He explores what has gone wrong, and why, and who has been most impacted by repressive and racist policing systems. He offers a new blueprint for public safety that holds people accountable while still holding them in community.
