We are thrilled to announce that our initiative, 30x30, and our co-founders Maureen Q. McGough and Ivonne Roman were featured in today's The New York Times! This coverage is a significant milestone for us and for everyone working tirelessly to transform law enforcement. The New York Times article by Tracey Tully delves into the challenges and experiences of women in the New Jersey State Police, shedding light on the systemic issues that still persist in law enforcement agencies. It's stories like these that drive the mission of 30x30 – to increase the representation of women in police recruit classes to 30% by 2030. Our journey began with the understanding that diverse police forces are not just a matter of fairness; they're crucial for effective and empathetic law enforcement. Decades of research show that female officers often employ de-escalation tactics more frequently, receive fewer civilian complaints, and make fewer discretionary arrests. Yet, women remain significantly underrepresented in this field. The 30x30 initiative is more than a goal; it's a commitment to change, to equity, and to a better future in policing. We are proud to see this movement gaining national attention and are grateful for the support and collaboration of our partner agencies. To all our supporters, allies, and fellow advocates: this feature is a testament to your hard work and dedication. Let's continue to push for progress, for equity, and for a policing culture that truly reflects and serves our communities. Read the full story in the New York Times and join us in this vital mission. Together, we can make a difference. #30x30Initiative #WomenInPolicing #GenderEquality #LawEnforcement #ChangeMakers #NYTimes https://lnkd.in/g7UGS2Ji
