Policy Coordinating Group (PCG) and business association stakeholder with Project Manager

Our Collective Impact

Drawn to meet the Movement for Black Lives’ call to dismantle our nation’s endemic over-reliance on policing and the legal system, LEAD Minneapolis seeks to decenter law enforcement and place public safety into the hands of the community. Pulling from LEAD, a program effectively addressing community safety in Seattle and over 80 other cities across the country, these public private partners brought together a diverse set of stakeholders to launch LEAD Minneapolis in 2022 with a focus on the East Lake Street corridor as a means of collectively creating an equitable, effective, non-punitive system of care in our community.

Policy Coordinating Group

Made up of community and civil rights leaders, law enforcement, business owners, and city officials and guided by a shared commitment to improve our community, the LEAD Minneapolis Policy Coordinating Group provides oversight to LEAD Minneapolis. Pillsbury United Communities serves as the host organization for both LEAD Minneapolis project management and case management.
