Bear Witness is an app designed to help support all of our fellow BEARs involved in incidents with law enforcement; by creating a culture of accountability in every community through immediate witness response to alerts sent out by neighbors in your area who feel unsafe in potentially dangerous law enforcement interactions.
We often hear of incidents where people have encountered law enforcement and the situation escalates, becoming unsafe. We want to bring the community together so that when anyone in the BEAR community feels they are in danger with law enforcement they’ll have immediate witness support from all of the BEARS in their area. B.E.A.R stands for Bystanders Exercising American Rights. The american right to bear witness to law enforcement interactions with the public, especially in situations that appear to be escalating in a fatal direction; will create the culture of accountability we need for all parties involved to help lower the risk of harm being caused to anyone involved in the situation and keep our fellow BEARs safe.
Our mission is simple, we want to help create a positive impact and change in every community by supporting one another and offering peace of mind to any one of our fellow BEARs who may feel alone and unsafe in potentially dangerous law enforcement interactions. We want to combine our energy because we believe there is power in numbers. United we can help lower the chances of our fellow BEARs becoming harmed or being treated unfairly by creating an organized presence that stands for safety and peace in our communities.
