Thank you for the shoutout @SymoneDSanders We are extremely proud that LDF and our incredible clients and co-counsel were able to create a congressional district in which Black voters were able to elect a candidate of their choice in this election. Power is built brick by brick.
My thoughts on what we know thus far about the 2024 electoral landscape: There are many things happening at once
Workers Bill of Rights passes 80% of the vote 117k voters! Landslide win!
"This is a disastrous manifesto that would take us back decades, if not centuries, in terms of the progress that we've made on civil rights, on constitutional rights. This is a threat to democracy, and it is a special, specific threat to Black people." @JNelsonLDF on @MSNBC

"Whenever we talk about electronic monitoring, it's really important... to uplift the narrative that it is an alternative 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢 of incarceration, not an alternative incarceration 𝙩𝙤 incarceration." - @MyaishaAyanna
Don't miss our upcoming episode coming out next week! We speak with Myaisha Hayes and James Kilgore (@waazn1) about the movement to challenge the widening use of “electronic monitoring devices,” or ankle shackles. #AbolitionNOW
Baton Rouge! Come speak out about your vision for the new #jail. We have seen jails built with no exposure to fresh air, no exercise, no books, no law library, no infirmary, no visiting room. Don't let them build a warehouse! This Tuesday, at 5:30pm, River Center.

Since 1961, all sectors of our society, including education, have used affirmative action to level the playing field. Let’s be clear: Even with the constraints of the Supreme Court’s ruling, colleges and universities are still able to consider students’ experiences with race.
Rather than charge a reasonable amount for health care, lets over-inflate the patient costs, bankrupt the patient, then have a charity pay off enough of the debt to erase it. nola.com/news/business/…
Anyone registering to #vote using National Mail Voter Registration Form, does NOT have to prove citizenship. They sign an oath they are a citizen. Stop using the state form, as the Landry Administration can't be trusted. eac.gov/voters/nationa…
LDF is making sure that Black voters in our core states have the information that they need, can overcome hurdles that are put in front of them. This upcoming general election will be one of the most consequential of our lifetime. Learn more at ldf.vote
These stores are understaffed, inadequate store infrastructure for safety, not enough training, and rarely have community safety managers. The broken Dollar Store business model is abandoning NO East after flooding us with stores that discouraged new local grocery stores post-K.
Organizers protested Dollar General pulling out of NO East Tuesday. But they focused their ire on the company. What about their elected local leaders? How many shoplifters did the DA prosecute? What is their councilman & criminal justice committee chair doing about rampant theft?
🚨 We're a week away! 🚨 Please join us, the @StTammanyCorp, and the @Ready_Louisiana for a webinar about a new public-private partnership model of early care and education funding. Register today: bit.ly/3W90tlv!

Utility companies in Louisiana saddled in- and out-of-state residents & businesses with $340M in unnecessary costs over the past three years, a recent study shows. @WesleySMuller explains why their bills were bigger than they should have been. lailluminator.com/2024/07/25/coa…

NEWS: the Middle District Court has ordered a halt on the law mandating the Ten Commandments be displayed in every public classroom. Meaning the posters can’t be hung up until November and LDOE can’t promulgate rules around it until then while the case plays out #lalege #lagov
