Join or Support Arizona Safe Communities Coalition
Arizona Faith Network is proud to co-lead the launch of the Safe Communities Coalition, founded in partnership with ONE Community and numerous statewide faith, community, and nonprofit partners. This bold new initiative is dedicated to protecting diverse faith spaces and historically targeted communities through training, outreach, strategic monitoring, and rapid response.
With extremist threats and hate crimes rising—up 25% across Arizona in the past five years—the Coalition is a proactive response to ensure that all people, regardless of background or belief, can live, worship, and gather in safety. The Coalition supports crisis response and resilience-building for communities of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, and religious minorities.
Thanks to support from the Vitalyst Health Foundation, the Coalition has named Paul Rockower as its inaugural Director, bringing expertise in public diplomacy, interfaith collaboration, and crisis management.
Join us in building safer communities for all.
