East Baton Rouge Councilwoman @BanksChauna is, “in total support of House Bill 797,” which would give local leaders like her the power to provide their constituents with paid sick days. #LALege #PaidSickLeaveNOW @GeauxFontenot @KernerforDist84 @FarnumLes

A new report from @EARNetwork & LSSC looks at examples of preemption in the South and how it prevents people of color, women, and low-income workers from making ends meet in states such as Louisiana. @UnleashLocal (1/3)

Hey! Hi, Louisiana! We are entering one of the most decisive times of this pandemic. The decisions made in the next few weeks will impact us for decades. Funding for state & local govs, schools, housing, unemployment & more are all at stake. We need to act! Here's how 👇🏿

Legislature's refusal to address sick leave is a symptom of deeper malady | Columnist @stephgracela #paidsickleavenow @UnleashLocal @MattWillard97 @RoyceDuplessis | nola.com nola.com/opinions/steph…


Our bill for local control of paid sick leave lost today but we believe we came very close to lifting the ban and allowing local lawmakers to better care of workers in their communities. This is huge and we couldn’t have gotten this far without you. Thank you.

“I’ve had some health issues... I felt that this bill was so important I had to be here.” Rep Marcelle going on the record about her family member who had #covid and had sick leave #paidsickleavenow #unleashlocal


HB797 for paid sick leave is starting now. Tune in live: house.louisiana.gov/H_Video/HD/HCR3


Today is the day! Our bill that would provide local control of paid sick leave will be heard. Local leaders need all the tools they can get to fight this pandemic and workers need to be able to stay home when they are ill. #PaidSickLeaveNow @RoyceDuplessis
