Reimagine Louisiana is a statewide conference that welcomes
congregations and citizen organizations to discuss the adjustment of state and
local communities to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The assembly will be
hosted via Zoom on Tuesday, May 26, and at least a thousand attendants are
expected. The first 1,000 participants will join the assembly via Zoom, and
overflow participants will have the option to watch the event streamed live on
Facebook. Governor John Bel Edwards has confirmed his attendance, and the
Louisiana congressional delegation, city majors, and parish presidents have
been invited. The purpose of the assembly is to address the rising challenges
of life after the pandemic by launching a campaign called "10,000 Conversations,"
which will focus on three main goals: fighting isolation during a time of
social distancing, understanding the firsthand issues affecting people in state
and local communities as the economic impact of COVID-19 continues to grow, and
building a broad and diverse community base that will bring about change and
strengthen state areas.
