We are committed to put an end to street violence by eradicating concentrated poverty. We are committed to take action against any form of injustice within the criminal legal system. We are committed to reconstructing the criminal legal system and reversing the war on drugs. We demand that those responsible for criminal justice and law enforcement be held accountable. The APA is an alliance of div
erse organizations and individuals working for justice. We ensure the voices of the people are heard and that the community is included in the making of decisions that affect them. We host community conversations at which community members, law enforcement, and local politicians have candid conversations about the state of their said community focusing on a plan to ensure a safe and healthy quality of life for all. We have a youth leadership institute, entitled "Activism is Love," where we teach the youth how to organize, mobilize and the political process. We teach them the importance of community service and connect them with organizations in which they may have an interest in working with. We are preparing and equipping our young leaders today, with the tools for the future. We host community events at which we educate the community on the political process while ensuring everyone is registered to vote. It is our goal to keep the community politically engaged and informed all year around and not just at election time.
