ISSUES
Stop Mass Incarceration
Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion ( L.E.A.D.)
LEAD programs allow law enforcement to collaborate with a multidisciplinary group of people who work in the criminal justice system and social services to develop multi-faceted interventions that address the root causes of drug use. Research shows that LEAD programs drastically reduce recidivism, greatly increase people's likelihood of finding employment and housing, and result in massive savings to law enforcement and the criminal justice system..

Economic Development
Emerging Industries; Hemp Farming
We support and encourage Hemp farming in NC to bring economic development to small farmers in rural counties. Textile companies like Hanes Brands and Champion and local NC clothing producers are looking to expand products from this industry. It is sustainable farming and environmentally responsible as it is grown without the use of pesticides and herbicides.
Improve Public Education System
Evidence Based Programing
Education today is far more complex than it was in past generations. With problems in drugs, delinquency and bullying contributing to low academic achievement a need for new solutions involving cognitive social development is needed. This is accomplished with evidence based programming such as the Mendez Foundation's Too Good To Fail programs.
