| Mothers Against Police Brutality (MAPB) Mothers Against Police Brutality (MAPB) is a Dallas-based multi-generational, multi-racial, and multi-ethnic coalition uniting people nationally, to hold law enforcement agencies more accountable. Collette Flanagan founded MAPB in 2013 after her son, Clinton Allen, an unarmed young Black man in custody, was shot to death by a Dallas police officer. Transforming grief into determination, Flanagan and MAPB are leading the charge to change deadly force policy in Dallas and throughout the U.S.; to lifting up families who have lost loved ones to police violence; and to reimagining public safety, divesting from police departments and investing in the health, housing, household incomes, human rights, creative arts, and overall well-being of our communities. www.mothersagainstpolicebrutality.org |
