About this listen

 Faith In Politics dusts your Civics hat off and empowers you with New Orleans civic information with a flair of faith. Let’s question the status quo, dig a little deeper to find the truth and rebuild our Faith In Politics while looking through a lens of morals and values. Do we remember those? Too many have lost their Faith In Politics and don’t participate in our civic process unfortunately. Let’s educate ourselves, share viable solutions, speak truth to power, create effective change and pray together. The people have the power yet somehow we forgot. When we are confident in our facts, engaged in the process, we stand on those facts and require accountability from our elected leaders. Yet if we don’t know the game, how can we referee from a far? While working the recall for 7 months, I listened to many residents and learned a lot about what residents actually know and while working 3 years in city communications, I learned a lot about what residents think they know. Residents need to do our own digging because even our news can be skewed at times. I’m a registered Independent so I’m coming from a purple point of view - no red or blue - JUST PEOPLE and FACTS. So between the New Orleans Civics 101 facts you didn’t know you needed (offered by email or text notifications) to solution based online group chats or in person brainstorming - Lets’ work together to rebuild our Faith In Politics while loving our neighbor. When I grew up in New Orleans, we felt like a family of neighborhoods. Katrina and Ida did a two-step on us and we have been resilient. Yet it’s time for New Orleans second line into THRIVING not just surviving. FIP Lagniappe Fact: Did you know New Orleans has a strong-mayor system of government? Well, WE DO! If you don’t know what that means, you definitely need to tap in with Faith In Politics Today by signing up for our weekly emails or texts. We are all in this together...

    Episode 40: Apply for Your SLDBE Certification

    Is your business DBE or SLDBE certified?

    If not, now is the time to get registered.

    The City of New Orleans no longer accepts paper applications, but the State of Louisiana still does — and both offer online options to make the process easier.

    TIP: Register with the state and get reciprocity with the city - 2 for 1

    Where to Apply Online

    • City of New Orleans: nola.gov

    • Louisiana DOTD: dotd.la.gov - print application

    Getting certified can open the door to major contracting opportunities, from construction to professional services.

    Multiple Agencies Can Help

    Depending on where you want to do business, certification support is available through:

    • Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY)

    • Regional Transit Authority (RTA)

    • Louisiana Department of Transportation & Development (LADOTD)

    • City of New Orleans Office of Supplier Diversity

    Make sure your business is certified, registered, and ready to compete for government contracts.
