Building Stronger Communities, One Rally at a Time
When you live in a neighborhood where crime is high, opportunities are scarce, and resources seem out of reach, it’s easy to feel disconnected. At Shreveport Citizens United (SCU), we believe in bringing solutions directly to the people who need them most.
Our Neighborhood Resource Rallies are more than just events—they are a lifeline for families, a platform for nonprofits, and a way to unite law enforcement with the communities they serve.
What Are SCU Neighborhood Resource Rallies?
📍 Six community-driven events per year held in at-risk neighborhoods across Shreveport.
🎯 Focused on connecting families with vital resources, including healthcare, mentorship, education, and vocational training.
🎉 A positive space for community building, featuring free meals, kids’ activities, and nonprofit booths.
These rallies are designed to engage, educate, and empower residents, ensuring they have access to the tools they need to thrive.
Why Do These Rallies Matter?
- They Provide Essential Resources
- Many families in our communities lack access to healthcare, legal aid, and job opportunities.
- Rallies bring these resources directly to them, reducing barriers and increasing engagement.
2. They Build Trust Between Law Enforcement & the Community
- Too often, the only interactions families have with police are in moments of crisis.
- At rallies, officers play with kids, engage with families, and provide safety resources.
3. They Offer a Safe Space for Families
- In areas where violence is prevalent, many parents hesitate to bring their kids outside.
- Our rallies create a fun, safe environment where children can be kids again.
