We RISE Together.
RISE Houston is committed to Re-Imagining Safety for Everyone. We envision a Houston where everyone has the tools and resources they need to strive and thrive. We are working collectively to stop police violence and to demand that Houston tax dollars be spent on community programs that actually make us safe.
OUR DEMANDS
SCRAP SHOTSPOTTER
End the City's wasteful $3.5 million contract with ShotSpotter, Inc., (now rebranded as “SoundThinking”) for bogus and harmful surveillance technology.
GET POLICE OUT OF TRAFFIC STOPS
Protect Black and Brown drivers from harassment and violence by prohibiting police from making stops for minor traffic violations in the City of Houston.
FREEZE HPD’S BUDGET
Freeze HPD's budget and invest in the kind of community infrastructure and supports that actually make us safer.
