Safe Streets has established a Speakers Bureau of people who have lost loved ones to violence or who come from communities most targeted by law enforcement to give the issues the human face and facts necessary to counter law enforcement myths. In addition, Safe Streets reaches out with media to educate New Orleans residents and to raise the public’s consciousness about the issue of criminal justice reform. We write Op-ed pieces, meet with editorial boards, and release reports that highlight best practices and re-focus and center the debate on the impact on communities of color.
