Louisiana Progress

Louisiana Progress is a solutions-driven organization that partners with advocacy organizations, community leaders, activists, students (through our College Fellows program) and elected officials across the political spectrum. Working with our partners, we identify real problems facing Louisiana communities, develop grassroots-driven solutions to those problems, and build strategic coalitions and campaigns to turn those solutions into effective policies.

Louisiana is stuck at the bottom of all the good lists because our politics are dominated by special interests that benefit from the status quo. Louisiana needs new ideas and a new generation of leaders who challenge the systemic cronyism and corruption of the past. We must work together to make sure people are informed about the issues that impact their lives, engaged in politics and in their communities, and mobilized to make the change they want to see.
