We can't arrest and jail our way out of homelessness. Portland’s new camping ban pushes people in crisis further into harm. We deserve a public safety system that expands deflection and connects people to housing, treatment, and wraparound services instead of punishment.

Oregonians deserve solutions that deliver meaningful accountability, repair harm, and keep families together. Incarcerating mothers destabilizes families and communities — and it doesn’t make us safer.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Every survivor deserves healing, safety, and accountability. Yet, for too long, the experiences and needs of survivors of color have been overlooked in shaping public safety systems and services.

Recovery is not a one-size-fits-all model. Each person’s path is shaped by their lived experiences — whether that’s trauma, mental health challenges, or barriers like poverty and discrimination.

A new report ranked Portland among the top cities in the nation for gun violence prevention, recognizing the city’s investment in community-led safety and trauma recovery.

Programs like Marion County’s LEAD connect people with substance use disorders, behavioral health needs, and co-occurring conditions to the support they need to heal and rebuild their lives.

When crime victims and survivors heal, Oregon thrives. Funding trauma-informed services and programs ensures that our communities will have access to stability, trauma-informed care, and pathways toward recovery.
Big lawsuit win: we’ve successfully protected nearly $1.4 billion in money for victims and survivors of crime – including $15 million here in Oregon. This win ensures that critical support for victims and their families will continue in our state.

“Unmet mental health needs and substance use disorders drive criminality.”
– Clint Riley, former law enforcement leader with 30+ years of service

Lane County is building a smarter path forward.

Instead of arresting and jailing people with substance use or behavioral health challenges, they’re being connected to treatment and recovery services.

"In just a mere couple of years, our efforts have given over 15 women the chance for a fresh start."- Kay Enyart, Restorative Roots Project.
We know too well that many who’ve been incarcerated are also survivors. That’s why PSJ is fighting for policies rooted in healing, prevention, and restoration.

Oregon lawmakers learned firsthand how LEAD programs — right here in the PNW — are advancing public safety by connecting people to evidence-based treatment, recovery services, long-term case management, and stable housing instead of jail.

Recovery is not one-size-fits-all — and success looks different for everyone, states Arturo Arturo Zamudio, LEAD Supervisor Community Outreach Manager in Lane County. #orpol #orleg

Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD) can succeed Oregon! LEAD is a framework that supports community-based alternatives to jail and prosecution for people whose unlawful behavior stems from unmanaged substance use, mental health challenges, or extreme poverty.

Testifying now before #orleg! - LEAD Seattle sharing about their innovative program. Independent evaluations prove it:
✅ Reduced recidivism
✅ Lower jail use
✅ Higher housing rates
✅ Better community outcomes
This is what happens when we invest in care instead of punishment. #LEADSeattle
