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.

"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

Since 1961, all sectors of our society, including education, have used affirmative action to level the playing field.

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.
Fix New Orleans@FixNOLA
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?
