Social Media RFP
- This RFP was uploaded by the owner.
New Orleans Voices for Accountability and Safety (NOVAS) is initiating a Request for Proposal to solicit bids to support its social media initiatives. NOVAS is composed solely of volunteers and one part-time program coordinator.
In December 2018, the MacArthur Foundation awarded the City of New Orleans a grant to join the MacArthur Foundation Safety and Justice Challenge, a network of competitively-selected local jurisdictions in the US committed to finding ways to safely reduce jail incarceration. New Orleans was the only applicant to include a community advisory group in its proposal to join the initiative, and MacArthur awarded New Orleans a supplemental grant to create the New Orleans Safety and Justice Challenge Community Advisory Group (SJCCAG).
In March 2021, the group renamed itself New Orleans Voices for Accountability and Safety (NOVAS), The MacArthur Foundation suggested the change, so that we can prepare to continue this work independently of the city's participation in their initiative.
NOVAS' mission is to support and participate in the successful implementation of the New Orleans Safety and Justice Challenge (SJC) by holding public agencies and officials accountable to the SJC plan to reduce the jail population and increase equity within the criminal system. NOVAS achieves this in two ways: (1) we claim, foster, and maintain space for public input and transparency in city decision-making on the implementation of jail population reduction; and (2) we spread awareness and knowledge about the MacArthur Foundation Safety and Justice Challenge strategies beyond traditional government structures into our own communities.
The goal of this RFP is to enhance and sustain NOVAS' online presence to further our mission, and to increase our social media outreach and engagement.
