The Power Coalition is building an integrated civic engagement strategy that amplifies the voices of those who have historically been ignored, and organize them into a unified movement. This movement is framed by a commitment to the following shared principles: The People Closest To The Problem Are Closest To The Solution Those who are directly affected by harmful policies and inequitable systems should lead the movement for change. Government Should Be Accountable To Citizens For Its Actions Louisiana is at its best when it fulfills its Constitution's promise to "secure justice for all, preserve peace, protect the rights, and promote the happiness and general welfare of the people." Intersectionality Is Mandatory In Policy Advocacy Power is built by working together across issue and policy areas, and constructing a shared frame for advocacy with one voice.
