LDF Sends Letter Urging Atlanta City Council to Fund Policing Alternatives and Diversion Initiative

The Legal Defense Fund (LDF) sent a letter to the Atlanta City Council expressing support for Atlanta’s Policing Alternatives and Diversion Initiative (PAD), which provides critical services for Atlanta’s most vulnerable residents—important services that are in jeopardy unless funding is extended immediately. The letter conveys that it is no exaggeration to state that PAD’s services can improve—and have improved—the life trajectory of many of Atlanta’s most vulnerable residents.
