The Campaign to End Qualified Immunity

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top” css=”.vc_custom_1656599246788{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]

This campaign is a coalition of business leaders, creative artists, athletes, advocates and lawyers dedicated to ending qualified immunity. The campaign seeks to educate by sharing stories of people who have been harmed by public servants and qualified immunity. The aim is to build demand for reform.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-to-top” css=”.vc_custom_1656599258436{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]

In order for police officers and law enforcement agencies to build public trust, there has to be accountability. Ending qualified immunity is just the first step in making both our government and criminal justice system more accountable to us. This country is what we make it, and the Campaign to End Qualified Immunity, as well as its partnered groups, strives to make our nation more just.
