150 years ago there were more Black elected members of the .@LouisianaSenate than there are today. In 1872, 12 of 36 were Black. In #BlackHistoryMonth 2022, while Louisiana is now more than 1/3 Black, only 11 of 39 districts are majority Black. #LaLege #LaGov #VetoAllTheMaps ⚖️⚜️

.Barry Ivey you’ve once again proven yourself as a real leader. You are by far one of the hardest working people I served with. I’ve always admired your audacity to take the floor and call out hypocrisy. You are a treasure my friend. Keep speaking truth good brother. 🤝💪🏾💪🏾

The Black Caucus on today’s tabling of the Supreme Court bill: “The members of the LLBC commend Representative Barry Ivey for doing exactly what we were elected to do: fight for the rights of the people and to create access for the historically disenfranchised.” #lagov #lalege

Thank you, Barry Ivey for doing exactly what we were elected to do #lalege #lablackcaucus #doingthework Vincent Pierre

As promised, we’re not giving up on creating maps that fairly represent the Black population of Louisiana. #doingthework #lablackcaucus #lalege #lagov

Change is hard, but we’re not giving up. Thank you, Cedric B. Glover, for working so hard to move us further down the road towards a more perfect union. #doingthework #lablackcaucus #lalege #lagov

Bending the arc further towards justice: a thread Cedric B. Glover #lalege #lablackcaucus #unpacklouisianadistricts #lagov

We join the Legislature in its bipartisan demand for justice for Ronald Greene—a justice that doesn’t begin & end in this political moment. We demand a long-lasting, all-encompassing, and far-reaching justice that’ll be felt for generations of Black Louisianians to come. #lalege

FIVE Black Caucus Bills in House Committee today that seek to increase minority representation in our Congressional Maps.

Black people comprise 33% of the population of Louisiana and ALL MAPS should reflect this reality. We remain undeterred in our fight for fair maps. #lalege

A recap:

Republicans called for a veto override session.

Democrats opposed it.

Republicans lacked the votes to override a veto on the ballot to hold a session.

Democrats voted against session.

Republicans wasted taxpayer dollars.

Republicans own this colossal failure 💯
