Mothers for the Movement: Every Child Home Alive is an initiative focused on educating youth on proper protocols when interacting with police and fostering positive engagement between local police and the communities they serve.

Mothers for the Movement draws inspiration from successful programs in Chicago and Gary, where Urban League affiliates have made remarkable strides in improving youth-police relationships.

“Daddy changed the world.”

POLICE PROTOCOLS

The Fort Wayne Urban League has partnered with the Fort Wayne Police Department to establish protocols for the youth to use as an educational tool when stopped by the police during a traffic stop. Proper protocols are important for safety, clarity, and mutual respect.

The established protocols are STOP, SHOW, STAY™.
