ABOUT SAFE
OUR HISTORY
SAFE was founded in 2021 with the goal of championing equity-focused initiatives in Hampton Roads, Virginia. We began by mobilizing the community in support of the Virginia Beach School District’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policy, as well as proposed policies to protect the rights of transgender and non-binary students. We also joined with other community leaders and organizations to advocate for the formation of a citizens review board to focus on the issues of policing and social justice in Virginia Beach.
The success of these efforts served to strengthen our commitment to advocating for initiatives that protect and expand equity. SAFE now works to mobilize local communities on a range of issues, and we support candidates who are committed to supporting our mission.
