Learning Over Lunch
Where Faith Meets Community: A Conversation on Belonging
Join us at our upcoming Learning over Lunch as Lilian explores the deeply intertwined histories of immigration and incarceration in Louisiana. She will provide crucial context on these systemic issues and highlight how local communities of faith have honored the sacred practice of "welcoming the stranger" for hundreds of years. By reflecting on our state's own profound experiences with displacement and exclusion, Lilian will powerfully remind us that it remains our moral calling and duty to provide space and sanctuary for all our neighbors today.
Date: August 18th
Time: 12:00 P.M. CDT

Solitary Gardens
Solitary Gardens: Freedom to Grow
What is a Solitary Garden? Solitary Gardens both directly and metaphorically ask us to imagine a landscape without prisons. We both directly and metaphorically ask us to imagine a landscape without prisons. Solitary Gardens transforms solitary confinement cells into living garden beds. The beds are designed and remotely gardened by incarcerated collaborators, known as Solitary Gardeners and are tended by community members on the outside.

Our Commitment to Justice
The Center embraces movements for justice and liberation, partnering with leaders from BIPOC communities. We also affirm the following Land Acknowledgment: We acknowledge that we are on Bulbancha, now called New Orleans. Bulbancha, which means place of many tongues, unceded land of the Chitimacha, the Houma, the Chahta, Yakni (Choctaw), the Atakapa Ishak Chawasha, and all Indigenous peoples of this region.
