leadneworleans.org We work together to advance health, safety, and equity by replacing systemic punishment with systems of care. We are social workers, project managers, lawyers, outreach workers, people with first-hand experience, and policy developers devoted to advancing community safety and equity. LEAD is a proven strategy to better respond to crime and disorder caused by people whose unlawful or problematic conduct stems from mental illness, substance use, trauma, or poverty.
