Mission:

Step Up Louisiana, along with our sister organization Step Up for Action, is a community based organization committed to building power to win education and economic justice for all.  We work with multiracial and intergenerational Louisianans to “Step Up” by campaigning, organizing from a racial justice perspective, and holding public officials accountable. We organize with parents, workers, students, and community members to disrupt systemic oppression in our schools and workplaces through voter education, advocacy, and action.


Fall For Liberation:

The Fall for Liberation Organizing In Training program is designed to recruit and train Louisianans who are committed to challenging inequality, organizing from a racial justice perspective, and building base and power for the long term. By equipping participants with essential organizing skills and political education, we will empower them to lead direct action, voter mobilization, and cultural organizing projects in their communities. By creating a virtuous cycle between base building and electoral/civic engagement work, we seek to activate our participants through voting and understanding our collective power as organizers. This will foster lasting change for climate, education, and economic justice through building the membership of Step Up Louisiana for the long term.

 

Purpose:

The purpose of the Organizer In Training (OIT) program is to take people with a passion for justice and a willingness to get out there and talk to people to learn how to Organize, the Step Up Louisiana way. OITs will develop their skills and knowledge of how to engage people directly in changing their own lives for the better. Graduates of the program will receive a certificate. 


OITs will receive training, education, coaching, and mentoring. They will spend their days in the community talking with residents, formerly incarcerated people, parents, low-wage workers, neighbors, and Step Up members bringing them together to take action. By the end of the program, OITs will support Step Up's campaigns, meetings, demonstrations, and other activities.
