We are thrilled to share that we’ve changed our name! The Atlanta/Fulton County Pre-Arrest Diversion Initiative is now the Policing Alternatives & Diversion Initiative. Our new name captures who we have always been an organization dedicated to reducing arrest and incarceration of people experiencing extreme poverty, problematic substance use, or mental health concerns, and increasing the accessibility of supportive services. And, you can still call us PAD! Our name change coincides with our exciting 311 Community Referral expansion in Zones 5 & 6 next month! Learn more at http://atlantapad.org.
Today for #GivingTuesday, please support PAD as we work to reduce criminal justice contact and address quality of life concerns in a way that honors the dignity and self-determination of our participants. http://tinyurl.com/ATLPADdonate #GAgives
Tomorrow is #GivingTuesday! PAD has diverted over 200 people from jail, & worked to remove legal barriers, secure housing, access community resources & make positive changes in their lives. You can support us as we continue to grow our work! http://tinyurl.com/ATLPADdonate #GAgives
Mark your calendars! Six days until #GivingTuesday! PAD's vision, at its core, is to replace punishment with care and connection. Your support allows us to provide an immediate alternative to jail & direct support to participants (i.e., immediate temporary shelter, rental assistance and move-in support, and transportation and food assistance). All of our work is grounded in principles of housing first and harm reduction. #GAGives Donate at: http://tinyurl.com/ATLPADdonate
