Alliance for Police Accountability-APA

Alliance for Police Accountability-APA The APA is a grassroots organization dedicated to criminal justice reconstruction.

We are committed to put an end to street violence by eradicating concentrated poverty. We are committed to take action against any form of injustice within the criminal legal system. We are committed to reconstructing the criminal legal system and reversing the war on drugs. We demand that those responsible for criminal justice and law enforcement be held accountable. The APA is an alliance of div

erse organizations and individuals working for justice. We ensure the voices of the people are heard and that the community is included in the making of decisions that affect them. We host community conversations at which community members, law enforcement, and local politicians have candid conversations about the state of their said community focusing on a plan to ensure a safe and healthy quality of life for all. We have a youth leadership institute, entitled "Activism is Love," where we teach the youth how to organize, mobilize and the political process. We teach them the importance of community service and connect them with organizations in which they may have an interest in working with. We are preparing and equipping our young leaders today, with the tools for the future. We host community events at which we educate the community on the political process while ensuring everyone is registered to vote. It is our goal to keep the community politically engaged and informed all year around and not just at election time.

This is beyond a travesty of justice! This could’ve happened to the young man on the Hill at Miami Market and Black people here in Pittsburgh were co-signing the response of those owners. This is the precedent your setting!! https://www.instagram.com/p/DZEWoaOF2I2/

We need a packed house at the jail oversight board meeting tomorrow!

The jail has an existing notification policy that is rarely followed and is worded to allow the jail to
decide what constitutes a medical emergency. This has left families and attorneys unaware of
the status of clients and loved ones.

For years, we have pushed for a policy change and have been told that one will be crafted. In May, a motion was presented to compel the jall to present anew policy by June. That was voted down after the sheriff claimed that it would lead to escapes and increased safety concerns for his office.

Demand the following:

1. A policy that notifies the families, Jail Oversight Board, and attorneys when any incarcerated person is sent to the hospital, and where.

2. That the policy be passed expeditiously!

3. That loved ones and attorneys be able to visit an incarcerated person in the hospital.

4. That the jail provide an easier process to sign and update medical release of information
forms.

For the first time, the Allegheny County Jail is paying incarcerated individuals for working and attending classes, with the program launching March 25. The initiative aims to support skill-building and reentry, though wages are low and structured under strict rules. Supporters say it’s a step toward fairness and rehabilitation, while critics argue the pay is minimal and overdue. Overall a step in the right direction but more steps need to be taken.
