In Ypsilanti, several organization are coming together to create a safe space for people to come and receive car repairs, with a mission of reducing unnecessary traffic stops.

Pull Over Prevention (POP) is an effort to empower motorists – especially people of color and immigrants in our community – to avoid unsafe discriminatory interactions with law enforcement.

Police and immigration officers use minor automotive issues as reasons to stop, search, fine, and deport people. POP volunteers provide repair and advice for these issues, share repair skills, and promote access to local resources.
