Sheriff Accountability Action

Donate to Sheriff Accountability Action

Sheriff Accountability Action is the only national organization devoted to building power to curb the harms of the more than 3,000 sheriff’s offices across the country. We work in deep relationship with local and national partners to scale effective strategies to reshape the institution of the sheriff. We think three projects are critical today:


  1. Testing local approaches to accountability and alternative models of safety. We support partners to use elections, county commissioner oversight, and long-term organizing as levers for change. We invest in leaders to enact policy that makes our counties safer and more just. In this moment of national polarization, local experimentation is more impactful than ever.
  2. Ending the epidemic of jail deaths in the U.S. Working with families who have lost loved ones in the custody of sheriffs, we are seeking to draw attention to this crisis. We pressure sheriffs into action to protect the health and wellbeing of people in their jails through data visualization, storytelling, and increased litigation."
  3. Growing the movement for sheriff accountability and transformation. Achieving safety for all people will require a broad coalition of organizers, journalists, and elected officials. We’re telling the story of sheriffs and the people who resist them in order to build a shared public understanding of the work that remains to be done to build a more just and free society.
