 THANK YOU!

Thanks to your persistence, patience, and support, the 2018 Louisiana Legislative Session was a success.

We helped pass bills to restore voting rights to thousands of Louisianans following their incarceration, to create a referendum on the November ballot to end the notorious non-unanimous jury, and pushed back against efforts to roll back the 2017 Justice Reinvestment legislation.

Thank you for joining us and stay tuned as we ramp up toward 2019: we are far from finished!
