North Jersey Alternatives to Policing Taskforce Zine
zine, staple bound

Zine designed with NJAPT︎︎︎, a a group working to create a researched and vetted guide of hotlines and services that may serve as alternatives to calling the police. The end goal is to empower folks to participate in community care and public safety without depending on a system of policing that is designed to maintain social and economic inequalities.

a yellow zine with the insert peaking from inside - the cover reads: Alternatives to calling the police: an NJAPT guide the zine opened up to a page that explains how calling the police may impact your community the zine opened up to a page that prompts: "can I try and talk this out with the other person empathetically and without blame?". On the spread are black spiky speech bubbles that hold tips like "allow silence in the conversation" and things to say like "I hear you." the zine opened up to a spread with questions to ask before calling the police - like is there someone I can call to help? is what I'm defending private property? Is it possible for me to go directly to the police station without bringing the police into my community? the zine is opened up to spread, and pulled out is a white folded piece of paper that is a flyer that reads: hudson county guide a spread about NJAPT - with stickers with the NJAPT logo (a group of people circled around holding hands) scattered across the spread
