others say “it's always been this way”, we say: “not much longer!”
Digital solutions just suit us – we have grown up with the internet, we know an app for everything, we would rather google than call, and are infamously impatient. Many people experiencing violence can probably relate – and Lou could make a real difference for them.

We can only solve problems in a sustainable way through teamwork. And Lou is only possible because of many supporters, named as well as anonymous. They're contributing their time, expertise, their ideas and their money, they help us and Lou learn and grow – for you.
Lou&You wouldn't have been possible without the amazing support of countless people and organizations. Foremost among these are Covington & Burling LLP and White & Case LLP, who provide us with pro bono legal support, Hannah Bahl, who conceived our brand strategy, and Wendy Richardson, to whom we owe our visual branding.
