“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”
-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, Letter from Birmingham Jail
Our Mission
When we lift up the most marginalized and disenfranchised among us, everyone benefits, even those who already have access to wealth and power. At Louisiana Progress, we seek to cut through the noise and nonsense that too often contaminate our politics, and dig into the details of government and policy to identify and solve real problems, especially the problems that disproportionately harm people at the bottom of the socioeconomic spectrum. We believe that when community leaders and elected officials come together and focus on solving problems, we can make Louisiana safer, cleaner, and more prosperous for all.
