Cambridge HEART (Holistic Emergency Alternative Response Team) is a community-led and non-carceral safety response program.

 

Vision

Cambridge HEART envisions interconnected local communities that practice care, healing, transformative accountability, self-determination, and that are free of carceral systems. HEART exists to model a world where people in crisis are met with care, compassion, and transformative accountability—rather than punishment.
