Our democracy isn’t democratic because we live in a state that suppresses its voters, changes their districts to silence them, and prevents the public at large from even becoming voters. We must have a country where we empower our voters, that creates districts that actually represent the people in them and their history, and ensures every person who lives here has a say in our government.

• We demand Universal automatic voter registration upon turning voting age, while expanding forms of ID taken for voter verification.

• We demand our government give us real voting rights that cannot be taken away, even for felons, and are always seeking ways to make it easier for working people to vote through things like federal voting holidays and more.

• We demand nonpartisan redistricting boards that have public oversight and community say in the final decision, with a focus on dividing up areas with one in them first before dividing up historic communities.

We demand that the government operates with transparency, accountability, and public oversight to prevent corruption. This will keep public trust and make sure private interests are not prioritized over the basic needs of the citizens.

• We demand checks and balances/ accountability for politicians.

• We demand more community benefit agreements.

• We demand ethics board members who will pursue justice and hold legislative violators accountable, utilizing available levers of power and expanding protections for the people.

• We demand dismantling of institutional racist systems.

• We demand an end to qualified immunity.

• We demand the closing of privatized prisons.

• We demand an end to conflicts of interest fueling privatization of schools.

• We demand equity in all healthcare facilities and accountability boards.

 We are fighting for the people to live in a clean and healthy environment with equitable access to clean water and natural spaces.

• We demand the removal of EV tax and addition of EV tax credit.

• We demand that our parks and wildlife habitats are preserved.

• We Demand no data centers.

• We demand that people are connected to local farmers.

We are fighting for access to equitable health care for all, despite race, socioeconomic status, etc).

• We demand insurance companies are held accountable with congressional oversight.

• We demand physicians are held accountable for malpractice and racial bias.

• We demand access to healthcare systems and services, in addition to re-opening of closed rural hospitals.

• We demand a livable wage for all.

• We demand economic opportunities in LA (creating jobs and supporting small businesses)

• We demand that part time work be capped at 20 hours so folks can work more than one job including health benefits.

• We demand that companies that come into the city have transparency and that they are regulated to give more towards community development.

 The Louisiana Education system has created an environment that is unsafe, lacks proper resources, and refuses to educate our youth. We refuse to accept anything less than an education system in this state that provides true education and skills to create well rounded adults, creates an environment where our kids are safe and fell respected, and with schools who never lack for resources to educate our kids.

• We demand a dramatic overhaul and refunding of this state’s education budget, one that guarantees all schools can equally support their students and teachers by funding schools based support needs rather than by district. We must ensure all communities have access to education that the community has say over.

• We demand a new state curriculum that is based both on the needs of our growing youth to become well rounded adults which is based on the interests and skills of our students, while also protecting truth and the teachers who speak it.

• We demand a school system that is well staffed, and has staff designed to support the needs of everyone in the system. We need parent councils not dying PTAs, we need mentors not law enforcement, and we need mental health counselors not just higher education counselors

• We demand a school system that refuses to let students or their families go without the basic resources everyone needs to live and thrive.
