Shreveport: Pack the Courtroom-Early Voting Day of Action
This Day of Action surrounds the motion-to-dismiss hearing in Louisiana v. Callais, a case challenging Louisiana’s congressional map and its remaining majority-Black congressional district.
The day will begin with supporters gathering to pack the courtroom as a three-judge panel considers pro-voter groups’ motion to dismiss the case.
Immediately following the hearing, co-counsel and clients will hold a press conference to discuss what occurred in court, the stakes of the case, and its implications for Black voters and fair representation in Louisiana.
The Day of Action will conclude with community leaders leading Louisianans to head to the polls on the final day of early voting. The effort is intended to ensure as many eligible Louisianans as possible exercise their right to vote and make their voices heard before early voting ends.
