Equal Justice USA’s Post

Bogalusa has a rich nuanced history of public safety, community organizing, and racial equity advocacy. We are proud to have worked with Bogalusa community members in holding conversations, analyzing themes, and creating a roadmap for change. Through the whole process, Bogalusa residents are the experts of their own community. We know that people who are closest in proximity to the issues are also closest to the solutions. Thank you Bogalusa community, for a rich day of action, report release, and partnership in the work to build community-led public safety solutions.
