The Archdiocese of New Orleans has partnered with the Greater New Orleans Drug Demand Reduction Coalition on a message to encourage young people to avoid drug use. Starting this month, a new public service announcement, titled “Protect Your Head, Protect Your Brain, Protect Your Future,” features Archbishop Gregory Aymond and is rolling out on digital platforms.
In a Clarion Herald column earlier this year, Archbishop Aymond wrote, “It’s important that the church speaks loudly because it is a stand for the common good of all people … The church’s voice needs to be heard – calling people to see the harm that’s involved.”
