// Our goalsAchieving the vision
We work to create a Louisiana where every person can thrive—free from oppression, exploitation, and state violence. Our vision is built on community power, shared prosperity, and the belief that lasting change comes from the people most impacted leading the way.
// 01Challenge inequitable systems to honor humanity
We confront economic, political, and social systems that devalue our communities. By organizing across parishes, we fight to dismantle policies that prioritize profit and punishment over people—building structures grounded in dignity, justice, and care.
// 02Defend collective freedoms and bolster public safety
We stand against attacks on our rights, our environment, and our democracy. True safety comes from stable housing, good jobs, quality education, and care—not criminalization or control—so we work to secure these foundations for every Louisianan.
// 03Decriminalize and reinvest in Louisiana’s people
We’re reimagining a state that invests in healing and opportunity instead of punishment. Through advocacy and reinvestment, we push for policies that end the criminalization of poverty and mental health while channeling resources back into families and communities.
// OUR PROGRESSOur impact so far
We built a powerful, statewide movement that holds politicians accountable and protects Louisiana families. By defeating harmful constitutional amendments, we’ve safeguarded education, strengthened democracy, and ensured that our communities—not political insiders—shape the future of our state.
// Blocked amendment 1Blocked special “can’t-lose” courts for politicians & their friends.
This amendment would have created a two-tiered justice system—one for the powerful and one for the rest of us. By defeating it, voters stood up for fairness, accountability, and equal justice under the law.
// STOPPED amendment 2Prevented a tax-code with deceptive language that guts education & transportation funding
We exposed the misleading language that would have drained resources from schools, roads, and working families. Our collective action protected essential public services and kept taxpayer dollars where they belong—serving the people.
// BEAT amendment 3Beat the amendment that would put more children in adult prison
This victory was a resounding statement that Louisiana believes in rehabilitation, not punishment, for our youth. Communities across the state rejected fear tactics and chose a vision of care, safety, and second chances.
// Blocked amendment 4Put a stop to cherry-picking judges in low-turnout elections
Amendment 4 would have allowed political insiders to manipulate the courts and consolidate their power in quiet elections. By stopping it, we protected the integrity of Louisiana’s judicial system and the people’s voice in choosing fair judges.
// TAKE ACTIONGET INVOLVED & preserve Louisiana’s rights
