Together Baton Rouge is a broad-based coalition organizing around specific themes impacting families in East Baton Rouge parish. From the beginning TBR members identified 5 areas of concern: Education, Crime, Healthcare, Transportation, and Food Access. TBR leaders meet one-on-one and in small groups (which we call house meetings) to share stories about the pressures impacting their families and communities. The stories shared at these meetings help develop the focus areas that leaders work together to address.

We encourage you to check in with the listed co-chairs for more detailed updates and information on how to get involved.
