We organize around the issues people live every day.
Together Louisiana’s work begins with the concerns our communities raise — rising utility bills, disaster recovery, public accountability, healthcare access, local jobs, infrastructure, and the cost of living. We turn those concerns into organized public action, building campaigns that bring ordinary people together to win measurable change.
NEIGHBORHOOD POWER
Building neighborhood resilience before disaster strikes.
Equipping trusted local institutions to keep communities safe, connected, and supported during outages and disasters.
RECENT HIGHLIGHT
North Louisiana Interfaith helped bring Community Lighthouses to Shreveport.
North Louisiana Interfaith joined local and state leaders to advance Community Lighthouse sites in the Shreveport area, turning trusted neighborhood institutions into solar-powered resilience hubs where residents can find support during disasters and extended outages. In 2025, Caddo Parish approved $500,000 in ARPA funding for Galilee Baptist Church and Willow Chute Baptist Church, doubling the number of planned solar-powered neighborhood hubs in Shreveport.

The program grew directly out of the Community Lighthouse project, connecting disaster resilience to local jobs and workforce opportunity.

RECENT HIGHLIGHT
Delta Interfaith organized East Carroll Parish for rural broadband.
Delta Interfaith has spent years organizing East Carroll Parish residents around reliable, affordable high-speed internet, treating broadband as essential public infrastructure for education, healthcare, jobs, and rural opportunity. The coalition helped organize an internet taskforce, secured emergency Starlink access for 120 families during the pandemic, and helped push a fiber project intended to connect thousands of homes and businesses — even as the project has faced delays and funding challenges.

ENERGY REFORM
Building a fairer, more reliable energy future.

RECENT HIGHLIGHT
Together New Orleans helped win the $30M Neighborhood Power Plan.
Together New Orleans and the Alliance for Affordable Energy helped win unanimous City Council approval of the $30 million Neighborhood Power Plan, a citywide program to install solar-connected backup batteries at homes, businesses, and community institutions. Funded through Entergy settlement dollars rather than rate hikes, the plan is designed to strengthen the grid, reduce outages and costs, and create what TNO describes as the largest Virtual Power Plant in the Deep South.
