CHANGE CORPS 

The Change Corps is designed to work with: Organizing For America, change.org, whitehouse.gov,  serve.gov, and recovery.gov.

The hope is that every city will have their own grassroots network that can bring the president's work down to a local level.  There may be no city in the United States that needs the Change Corps as much as New Orleans, LA.  We intend to help our own communities as well as watchdog our local, state and federal governments. It is up to us to make sure that corruption is rooted out of our political system and that we are appropriately represented by competent leaders.  At the same time there are changes we can personally make to better our neighborhoods and our world on a daily basis.  This group hopes to help you find ways, both large and small, to do that.

To receive updates via email or to give us your ideas, please sign up at Change Corps of New Orleans.

This is just the beginning.  We have the power to create the kind of community we want to live in. 

 Let's do it together!

We would like to acknowledge the help we have received from the Change Corps of Houston and invite other cities to join our network so that we may share and assist one another in this journey of change.  For more information on how to get started, contact Lynda Woolard at lynda@changecorpsnola.org.

 In an effort to highlight the need for Health Care Reform in America, June was declared National Health Care Month and a National Health Care Day of Service was held on June 27th.  Change Corps joined several other groups in New Orleans and successfully helped donate food, clothing, and blood to various organizations across the city.

If you are interested in participating in community organizing to give voice to the people in the struggle for reform of our health care system, please contact Organizing For America - Louisiana State Director Steven Walker at 504-376-3880 or swalker1167@gmail.com.

When you realize that the health care industry is spending over a million dollars a day funding 4 lobbyists for each member of congress, you see how important it is to band together and give the public its own voice.
