Hey comrades!
Our Fall 2023 Voter Guide is officially out! Take a read-through before you head to the polls this Saturday, October 14th! Thanks to all of our member-writers who contributed to this incredible effort. We’re proud to provide this guide as a free public service, so please be sure to help us spread the word — share with your squad and beyond!
Polls are open on Saturday, October 14th from 7am to 8pm. You can check what’s on your ballot here.
As a reminder, our chapter has endorsed members Mandie Landry for House District 91 and Lauren Jewett for BESE District 1, and we’ve recommended Pearl Ricks for House District 23. We've also recommended voting AGAINST Melanie Talia for Criminal Court Section I.

UPCOMING EVENTS:

Health Justice and Direct Service Meeting | 5-6p | Parish Hall Offices, 2533 Columbus St
Join the Health Justice and Direct Service Committees as we plan our Brake Light Clinics and Health Fair. This is a hybrid meeting, in person at Parish Hall and over Zoom. Register for the meeting here.
Join us to prepare the next edition of our voter guide, discuss local and state political affairs, and build power in our city! Zoom link here!
Sunday, Oct 15
Come talk politics with us and test out how well you believe the things that you think you believe. Reading books is all well and good, but you have to practice pulling it out of your head and putting it into your own words. Beer can sometimes help that process.
Monday, Oct 16

Come learn the political and historical context about what is happening now in Gaza from Palestinian, Jewish, and Black New Orleanians. Presented by PATOIS and Jewish Voice for Peace.
Love and Solidarity,
