Criminalization & Police Accountability Past Victories

We are working alongside communities who have faced discriminatory interactions with the police, and advocating for an accountable system of policing that is responsive to the needs of marginalized communities. We are looking for opportunities to promote dialogue between communities and officers, and working to improve accountability and transparency, in order to reconcile and rebuild trust.

Community safety requires inclusion & accountability, not criminalizing poverty

Pivot works alongside people who are marginalized as a result of poverty, disability, social condition, or race. We use our tools to address the criminalization of poverty and hold law enforcement responsible for discrimination or use of force.

Pivot Legal Society is located on stolen lands of the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam Indian Band), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish Nation), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation). We are grateful to Indigenous Peoples for their continuous relationship with their lands and are committed to learning to work in solidarity as accomplices in shifting the colonial default.
