Hello Comrades,

We've got two big updates to close out the week for you!

FIRST: If you're a member in good standing (i.e. have paid dues within the last 12 months) you should have received your OpaVote ballot via email from "OpaVote Voting Link" with the subject line "New Orleans DSA City Council Endorsement Votes." Don't forget to cast your ballot before voting closes Saturday afternoon so we can make a decision on our municipal endorsements! You can watch the candidates' Q&As here, along with transcripts. If you have not received a ballot and believe you should have, please reach out to us at [email protected].

SECOND: Join us and our friends from the Alliance for Affordable Energy and Energy Futures New Orleans coalition members to develop a People's Platform on electrical utility issues ahead of this years' upcoming municipal elections in the fall! We need as much input as possible and hold candidates in the upcoming municipal elections this fall to a standard that we set: one that puts people first and profits second, and shows candidates that we’re serious about taking our power back from Entergy, at the ballot box and beyond. No expertise required, only experience necessary is being an Entergy ratepayer! Enjoy free food and help us build a people-centered future for utilities regulation in New Orleans. NEXT MONDAY, 6PM AT THE BROADSIDE, RSVP HERE!

In Solidarity,

Your Local Council
