“Communities of Hope, an initiative of the Isaiah Institute of New Orleans, has spent the past 18 months working with city officials and law enforcement on crime and public safety across New Orleans neighborhoods.

Givens, a veteran New Orleans community organizer who spent decades organizing through the Pacific Institute for Community Organization and served as a political aide to Mayor Ernest "Dutch" Morial, said the group has been building toward a public statement for some time, but a series of events in recent weeks forced their hand, including passage of new measures targeting unhoused people at the state level, and ongoing federal immigration enforcement actions that have rattled immigrant communities across the Gulf South.

"When finally the legislature acted this past week and these things were actually signed into law," Givens said, "I saw this as the critical opportunity for the churches to come together and say how they felt about this.’”

More than 50 New Orleans faith leaders crowded into Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church on Rampart Street Tuesday and did something rare for a city where religion and politics rarely share a pulpit.

This Pride Month, we celebrate the joy, resilience, and beauty of LGBTQIA+ communities.

In "The Q***r Beatitudes," Tim Atkins (also known as Sister Sweet Suffering Tea of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence) offers this blessing:

"Blessed are we, the whole q***r family,
for love is our birthright, and joy is our inheritance."

May we continue building a world where every person can live, love, and flourish as their full self. 🌈
