BISCO
Bayou Interfaith Shared Community Organizing
We are everyday and ordinary church people working together with our ministers to bring about positive changes in our communites.
In the southeastern Louisiana bayou parishes of Lafourche and Terrebonne, BISCO
builds the voice and power of local residents to address the most pressing issues facing their communities. The disasters of the last decade — Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005, Hurricanes Gustav and Ike in 2008, and the BP Oil Drilling Disaster this year — have severely impacted our two parishes. The fallout from these disasters may seem local, but are important regionally and nationally.
Looking forward to a better, safer, more prosperous future, we teach our community leaders how to advocate for issues that need to be addressed.
Working with our local churches and communities, we aim to empower our local residents to use their collective voices to effect change locally, regionally, and nationally.
