Don't miss our policy strategist @StephaniLWillis in @MSNBC on why it's our right to observe police. With HB 173, lawmakers in Louisiana are trying to stop us from witnessing police interactions by creating a buffer zone around law enforcement. msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…
BOOM! We just secured a win in our challenge to Louisiana’s racially discriminatory state legislative maps. Louisiana must draw new, fairer maps for Black voters! Kudos to the stellar @ACLU team @keenanmegan @likedaytonohio @garrettmuscatel & cocounsel @ACLUofLouisiana…
Thank you to @CovingtonLLP for being one of the first firms to make a 360-degree investment in civil rights work in Louisiana this #GiveNOLADay! In addition to providing invaluable pro bono support to ACLU-LA, Covington generously contributed $10,000 to our Law Firm Challenge.
Joy IS resistance. Here are a few joyful moments from this year’s Pride Day at the Capitol. We were proud to be joined by families, pets, attorneys, educators, faith leaders, and activists from all over Louisiana.
#BillBreakdown: Here’s an overview of our priority bills, HB 121 and HB 122, addressing LGBTQIA+ rights in Louisiana. All LGBTQIA+ Louisianians, including young people, deserve to live with respect, safety, dignity, and joy. #lalege
This GiveNOLA Day, the ACLU of Louisiana is seeking to power the future of our Justice Lab initiative through an inaugural Law Firm Challenge. Our law firm partners are contributing towards a collective gift that will allow us to bring more attorneys onboard.
#BillBreakdown: Here’s an overview of our priority bill, SB 218, addressing voting rights in Louisiana. Share with your community, especially those experiencing prolonged illness, the elderly, and those with mobility issues. #lalege

2023 was a pivotal year for our work in immigrant rights. We've been able to expose the realities of LA immigration detention. In 2024, our biggest objective in this work remains the same: reuniting families. Learn more in our annual report:bit.ly/3IOcJ4V #YearInReview
Since 2015, nearly 1,200 loved ones have died in Louisiana prisons and jails. This heart wrenching story from @RichardAWebster sheds light on just how dangerous prisons like Angola are for those dependent on medical care. New tough on crime laws will only make it worse.
