The Micah Project is a faith-based organization established in 2007 by clergy who wanted to see real change in their communities. Since then, Micah has won important victories in areas such as criminal justice reform, education, and healthcare.

Micah moves power on a local, state, and national level. The Micah Project has 16 member congregations in Orleans and Jefferson Parish and represents over 12,000 people. The Micah Project is an affiliate of the PICO National Network, who, with more than 1,000 member institutions representing one million families in 150 cities and 17 states is the largest faith-based community organizing effort in the United States.
