Police the police.

How Many Weren't Filmed?

LEAP is the Law Enforcement Accountability Project, a propulsive fund dedicated to empowering activists as they pursue narrative change around the police abuse of Black People.

Our mission is to disrupt the code of silence that exists around police aggression and misconduct. We will no longer accept this. We will tell the true stories.  The goal of LEAP is to elevate activist storytelling around police brutality and murder through funding short-term projects in film, photography, fine art, music, poetry, culinary arts, and dance.

Change begins with the stories we tell each other about the police and Black people. This is our work. The fund is powered by advocates who believe in police transparency and visibility.
