An idea that the family
and I have been bouncing around...for showing solidarity with
*everyone* and taking a positive step towards improving public safety
(since the police clearly have another mission):
Start a group where members are identified with a t-shirt that says something like "Getting You Home Safe". If you're out in public and feel at risk...maybe a person of color, an LGBTQ person or a woman in a bar being stalked by a creep. You see this person wearing this shirt in public and they will either walk you home or otherwise get you home safe. With an ID you can check by calling (or a smart phone app) to make sure they've had a background check and are legit.
The ads for the group could be provocative, e.g., young black men being escorted past a Seattle PD station...
