Louisiana Rising is a statewide, cross-partisan civic initiative exploring policy solutions to our state’s challenges, promoting pragmatic leadership, and elevating good ideas and best practices. We plan to publish an ideas journal along with a podcast series later this year.
This is a brand new project. Fill out this quick form if you want to get updates as things progress.
