“Best voting advice: Voting isn’t marriage. It’s public transport. You’re not waiting for "the one". You’re getting on the bus. And if there isn’t one going exactly to your destination, you don’t stay home and sulk. You take the one that’s going closest to where you want to be.”

What's at Stake in 2024?
In 2024, Louisiana voters will vote at the polls for State Constitutional Amendments, local measures, and the President of the United States.
Most state level offices were up for election in 2023, and already, Louisiana residents are feeling the effects of the new state officials and the first time that there has been a Republican supermajority in the State House and Governor’s office.
This Presidential election, our job is to remind voters what has been done to move the state and nation forward and what we stand to lose if we do not get out to vote. Federal leadership determines what funding can come to our state to support infrastructure, hurricane preparedness and relief, they can expand affordable healthcare access, ensure civil rights, and more.
There is a misconception that Louisiana is a conservative state. The reality is that we are not deeply conservative, but we have been deeply entrenched in racism, patriarchal, and oppressive policies that have disenfranchised voters and made it hard to shift the power in the state back to the people.
Power Coalition for Electoral Justice and our parters are dedicated to ensuring that communities and voters of color have all the tools to cast their vote for candidates that will create the Louisiana and United States that we deserve.
We need our voters to walk in their agency and power to guide our state forward into the future.
