Campaign Zero is an American[1] police reform campaign launched on August 21, 2015.[2] The plan consists of ten proposals, all of which are aimed at reducing police violence.[3] The campaign's planning team includes Brittany Packnett, Samuel Sinyangwe, DeRay Mckesson, and Johnetta Elzie.[4][5] The activists who produced the proposals did so in response to critics who asked them to make specific policy proposals.[3] Subsequent critics of Campaign Zero and of their 8 Can't Wait project point out that some of the policies it recommends are already in place as best practice policies at many police departments. Some of these include the Milwaukee policing survey[6] and the PRIDE act.[7][8] However, a 2016 study by Campaign Zero found that only three of the eight policy recommendations were adopted by the average police department and that no law enforcement agency had adopted all eight.[8]
