Alternative First Responders is a project brought to you by The National Justice Project.

The right response starts with the right people, making a system that works for everyone. With diversity and community involvement in the first response, care comes first, not force.

The Alternative First Responder campaign calls on us to reimagine how we respond to people in need and to invest in solutions as diverse as our communities. When we rethink the response and centre community and diversity, we ensure that everyone is met with safety and dignity in their time of need.
