UPCOMING EVENTS:

RECAP:

Last Month's General Meeting

At our August GM, we officially elected Sarah B. as Make Entergy Pay Chair and Aspen W. as Worker Power Louisiana Chair. They will represent the respective campaign/committee on the Local Council. Congrats comrades! Wash F. also discussed the state of COVID in New Orleans and the country as well as updated information. We also started the debate to endorse Gabriela Biro for School Board.

 

ENDORSEMENT VOTING:
Gabriela Biro

We are awaiting the results / Due to Hurricane Francine, Local Council has authorized an additional three days to vote to meet quorum. If you have not voted in the previous ballot, be on the lookout for your ballot from OpaVote.

 

NOTE: If you want to abstain, please vote “abstain” on the ballot so we can meet quorum.
