​DOVE was formed following the Louisville Uprisings of 2020 as an attempt to find alternatives to law enforcement during a mental health crisis. We recognize that existing systems of justice and support were constructed to perpetuate white supremacy and generational racism. DOVE is a collective of community members and practitioners who seek to dismantle systems of oppression through the creation of equitable, organic and transformative initiatives designed to ensure the wholeness of community… mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
