With a proven track record, trust of the community, and pure grit, imagination and will, HEROES now seeks strategic partnerships and dedicated investors who seek local, high-impact social and racial justice in one of the most resource-poor areas of America. A hybrid business-non-profit model would shield HEROES from funding cuts and enable them to build a resilient community. The HEROES land project will become a model of change for communities to change from within. https://www.heroesland.org/contact-us daily 0.75 2021-06-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b421d488562054298b5662/1624754767453-R00GYORQKSW5YIWDILSC/tree_trunk_transparent.png Contact Us - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.heroesland.org/donate daily 0.75 2022-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b421d488562054298b5662/1624754767453-R00GYORQKSW5YIWDILSC/tree_trunk_transparent.png Donate - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.heroesland.org/privacy-policy-1 daily 0.75 2021-06-10 https://www.heroesland.org/our-work daily 0.75 2021-06-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b421d488562054298b5662/1624767322645-OJO51Y6NPATNTY9JYTAJ/louisiana_topo_map.jpeg HEROES On the Black Side of Town in Rural Louisiana - “Louisiana continues to rank dead last in the United States when it comes to education, health care, crime and opportunity for its citizens…” — The Times-Picayune https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b421d488562054298b5662/1624568838876-T7DNWWS0XKRUMZ3HH7K2/IMG_4529.HEIC.jpeg HEROES On the Black Side of Town in Rural Louisiana https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b421d488562054298b5662/1624569048047-BSGVSM8MQP2NHOU4JZVS/IMG_4523.jpeg HEROES On the Black Side of Town in Rural Louisiana https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b421d488562054298b5662/1624569339461-JPCEL834BKLGYRU4FEUA/IMG_4531.HEIC.jpeg HEROES On the Black Side of Town in Rural Louisiana https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b421d488562054298b5662/1623177333649-COHSXIJZYDW23YHX3NC7/IMG_4491.jpg HEROES On the Black Side of Town in Rural Louisiana - THE INTERVENTION Reclaim and repurpose our ancestral land to create generational change in the Black community https://www.heroesland.org/the-land daily 0.75 2026-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b421d488562054298b5662/1624756407672-GJM90WVGH4ZC9CCD9YUU/new_paradigm_tree.png HEROES reclaims and repurposes the Land that Slaves Built - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b421d488562054298b5662/1624760129227-GSMDP122L0394LFOPOTN/tree_smallest.png HEROES reclaims and repurposes the Land that Slaves Built - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b421d488562054298b5662/1624759626176-7M7J2GUCQX4KEWOGSL5B/hammers.png HEROES reclaims and repurposes the Land that Slaves Built - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b421d488562054298b5662/1624760382180-EI9OV0WQ0NYLYH3OUQ6H/circle.png HEROES reclaims and repurposes the Land that Slaves Built - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b421d488562054298b5662/1624759993680-928G5QKM763H3QJ1EXJJ/hammock.png HEROES reclaims and repurposes the Land that Slaves Built - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b421d488562054298b5662/1624759858763-Z595EOEJWW7543MWSLF4/hands.png HEROES reclaims and repurposes the Land that Slaves Built - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b421d488562054298b5662/1624759944660-RFKUAGNWYNXF3FEYNAY3/windmill.png HEROES reclaims and repurposes the Land that Slaves Built - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60b421d488562054298b5662/1624760248764-KVGTKDEQFFLG3KRH0776/globe.png HEROES reclaims and repurposes the Land that Slaves Built - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
