Our Voice Nuestra Voz

We are an issues organizing effort in New Orleans. We work in the areas of education, immigration and criminal justice to build the power of Black and Brown communities to create a more equitable city. Our Voice Nuestra Voice is a nation-building organization, anchoring ancestry while building Black and Brown solidarity in New Orleans. We remember our shared culture and language, reconnect to the land, and organize our community around collective action. We build the capacity of community members, parents, and families to act as advocates in order to create a more equitable city, focusing on a number of issues including education, criminal justice, and immigration. We envision a world where Black and Brown people live without harm, practice liberatory education, and enact restorative justice. We reconnect with our ancestors and our culture, because our ancestors sowed seeds so that we could reap a bountiful harvest.
