USA TODAY Partners With Stand Together on Opinion Project to Explore the Issue of Qualified Immunity

USA TODAY announced a grant-funded partnership with the nonprofit Stand Together on a project aimed at exposing the abuses protected by qualified immunity, which insulates officers and departments from civil liability for police misconduct.

In a series of editorials and columns, USA TODAY will cover cases of justice denied as they are handed down by courts, give voice to those victimized by police and detail efforts to reform the policy at the state level. USA TODAY’s work will be shared with Gannett’s more than 250 local news sites in 46 states.
