About Us
Bear Witness (Bystanders Exercising American Rights) is an app fostering accountability through immediate witness response. When a "BEAR" feels unsafe during a law enforcement interaction, the app alerts nearby neighbors to provide support. By exercising the right to observe escalating situations, the community creates a protective presence. This collective vigilance aims to lower the risk of harm and ensure safety for everyone involved.
