Document the incident.
Prove the pattern.
Win the demand.
AASS is not a news site. It is a civic tool: report what happened where you live, see what others have reported on the public map, and read the policy work on what Black America should fight for next.

2hWhat AASS is
A civic safety platform for Black communities
The African American Safety Society helps people document racial harm, visualize where it keeps happening, and connect that evidence to policy demands worth fighting for. It complements commercial court-record tools like Global Ticket Pay: GTP handles tickets and warrants; AASS handles the community safety and advocacy layer those records do not cover.
