Strategic problem-solving for systemic change
At Louisiana Progress, we work with grassroots partners to identify real problems, develop effective solutions, and successfully advocate to turn those solutions into systemic change. We fight to make sure that state and local government works better for the interests of poor and working-class people and not the interests of the wealthy elite. To accomplish those goals and make real progress in Louisiana, we focus on issues like:
Decriminalizing poverty
Protecting & expanding labor rights
Eliminating predatory fines & fees
Improving public transit
Increasing government transparency
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
