Save Our Soul Coalition Founding Members

SOS Coalition is a collective of 26 community organizations united to stop the relocation of New Orleans City Hall into the historic Tremé neighborhood. They are art and culture groups, business and economic development groups, service and benevolence groups, churches and religious groups. Individually, each organization has made countless contributions to the city and community. Today, against overwhelming odds, they are speaking truth to power with a compelling call to action that has mobilized residents, business leaders, and elected leaders alike to join their quest to create a path to stabilization, restoration, and the development of resident-led public projects and public policy.
