Welcome

WANT TO IMPROVE YOUR COMMUNITY?

Located in Pierce County Washington, Safe Streets Campaign is a non-profit organization that brings people together, sometimes neighbors that get to know each other for the first time, to take back their streets. Through forming neighborhood block groups, we help you plant the seed of grassroots, community leadership. That leadership helps hold communities together and links them with can-do people in agencies and organizations to make neighborhoods safe. Working together is the key to reversing crime trends in our neighborhoods. Safe Streets is here to help create better, safer communities throughout Pierce County.

Guiding Principles

There is plenty of blame to go around.
Since we all share the same problem, we can all participate in the solution.

We don't have all the answers.
There is no one answer to all the problems. We must work together to find all the solutions.

We must remain people of goodwill with open minds.

We recognize the value and strengths of all community members.
