Campaign Zero


Campaign Zero is a police reform campaign proposed by activists associated with Black Lives Matter, on a website that was launched on August 21, 2015. The plan consists of ten proposals, all of which are aimed at reducing police violence. The campaign's planning team includes Brittany Packnett, Samuel Sinyangwe, DeRay Mckesson, and Johnetta Elzie. The activists who produced the proposals did so in response to critics who asked them to make specific policy proposals. Many of the policies it recommends are already in place as best practice policies of existing police departments. Some of these include the Milwaukee policing survey and the PRIDE act.

Since its inception, Campaign Zero has collected and proposed policy solutions for police reform in ten areas. These 10 major policy solutions are ending broken windows policing, encouraging community oversight, limiting the use of force, independent investigation and prosecution, community representation, filming the police, training, ending for profit policing, demilitarization, and fair police union contracts.

End broken windows policing has 3 major components:

Community Oversight has 2 major components:

Limit Use of Force has 4 major components:

Independent Investigations and Prosecutions has 4 major components:

Community Representation has 2 major components:

Filming The Police has 2 major components:

Training has 2 major components:

End Policing For Profit has 4 major components:

Demilitarization has 2 major components:

Fair Police Contracts has 3 major components:

Arriving on the heels of protests in Ferguson, New York, Baltimore, and elsewhere over cases of civilians being killed by police officers, Campaign Zero in August 2015 was launched as a "data-driven platform" with the goal of ending police brutality. The same team had created the project MappingPoliceViolence.org four months prior, which tracked and mapped incidents of police violence.
