Join us Thursday, October 31 at 10am for our budget hearing before the City Council. We will advocate for full and equitable funding for OPD and public defense. We are asking for 85% of the appropriation given to the DA be also given to OPD. This would allow us to more fully represent our clients and advocate for those facing the weight of the criminal legal system.
Make your voice heard. Tell the Mayor and Council to do the right thing. New Orleans deserves fairness and equity. Justice depends on it.
