@ACLUofLouisiana @CapitalBNews Thank you! 🙏🏾

Our executive director @Alanah_ACLU was featured in @CapitalBNews's story on how the legacy of a horrific reconstruction-era massacre is shaping voting rights today. Read it here: capitalbnews.org/opelousas-mass…

Challenging Police Brutality in Louisiana aclu.org/news/racial-ju…

Now that the most conservative Supreme Court since the 1960s has confirmed that racism is alive and well, we need Congress to act to protect our rights. The first step? Passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. My latest piece in @Newsweek. @ACLU newsweek.com/supreme-court-…

"Black voters must be heard in the electoral process, not packed into one district or diluted into several districts by maps that attack their political power," says @Alanah_ACLU. laaclu.org/en/press-relea…

@ACLUofLouisiana @Newsweek The Supreme Court has affirmed the right of Black voters in Alabama to elect a second congressional candidate of their choice! This is a stunning victory. And it makes clear that the Voting Rights Act is still necessary! On to Louisiana!

Today, the Louisiana Senate passed HB85, making it a crime to come within 25 feet of law enforcement when ordered to stay away. #lalege

Really proud I drove both these visionaries out of the ACLU.

My organization @ACLUofLouisiana is about that work!!!

Powerful article by @alanah_aclu in @Newsweek newsweek.com/roberts-court-…

We are about to get some major rulings from the Supreme Court, and I wrote in @Newsweek about how the Roberts Court chooses power over people, every time. I don’t expect this time to be any different. @ACLUofLouisiana @ACLU   newsweek.com/roberts-court-…

@JaTauneB Thank you lady! 🙏🏾

An important and timely piece by my colleague @Alanah_ACLU.

@TEDxAtlanta Honey! You are doing amazing things!!!

The failures of Louisiana’s new redistricting maps are particularly concerning because of the population growth and shifts in the state over the last 10 years. The Louisiana state legislature must reflect the richly diverse population it serves. aclu.org/news/voting-ri…

#BREAKING: Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards has vetoed the state’s new congressional map, which included only one majority Black district despite Census data that show the state’s Black population has increased to 33% since 2010. lailluminator.com/2022/03/09/gov…

The opening graph of @LouisianaGov's letter to the Speaker lays it out perfectly. This was undeniably the right thing to do. #lalege #lagov

BREAKING: In a 6-3 vote, the LA Senate & Governmental Affairs Committee just approved state Senate & Congressional maps that will likely violate the Voting Rights Act. We strongly urge the legislature to adopt a Senate map that won't undermine the political power of Black voters!

This week @ACLUofLouisiana issued a follow up letter to @TheJusticeDept requesting a pattern or practice investigation into the state police’s history of targeted violence and misconduct toward communities of color which is currently under review.

@orleansparishda Wow this is incredible! In this case, justice delayed was only justice partially denied. DA Williams should be commended for his courage. Moreover, Mr. Jones should be heralded for his valor and for serving as a perfector of the criminal legal system!
