In a future America, greater equality brings affordable housing, healthcare, food, education, and meaningful work to everyone. As poverty and desperation decline, so does the need for police intervention. Through the eyes of retired officer Elena Ramirez, the story explores how creating a more just society can make communities safer-and leave fewer people needing to be rescued in the first place.
