LIVE FREE Update - August 2021

What has your LOC been working on for the past 4 weeks?

LIVE FREE leaders showed up and showed out during last week's BOS meeting, urging representatives to prioritize community-based violence intervention when allocating ARP funding. Our CourtWatch team is working hard to finalize our CourtWatch program, and hope to launch at the end of this month!
