CHANGE CORPS 

The Change Corps was designed to work with: Organizing For America, change.org, whitehouse.gov,  serve.gov, and recovery.gov. It was   a transitional group to keep our volunteers engaged until an official structure was put into our state to continue the grassroots movement we started during the Change We Can Believe In '08 Campaign.

The hope remains 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 a "Change Corps" as much as New Orleans.  We need to help our own communities rebuild 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 in turn our world. 

This website will serve as a place to post valuable resources and connect groups doing important work in our community.  We hope to help you find ways both large and small to impact your world on a daily basis.  Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or suggestions.

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!

Organizing For America's current focus is advocating for Health Care Reform.  If you would like to support that effort, you can get involved immediately by visiting the Health Care Action Center and contacting your members of congress, writing letters to the editors of local papers, and calling people in your community to get them involved.  If you need more information, you can go to the Health Reform Information site and if you would like to find out how to debunk some of the myths circulating on the topic, please see Health Insurance Reform Reality Check.
