2024 Legislative Agenda

This year, our agenda is solely comprised of proposed legislation the League and Louisiana Legislative Black Caucus drafted in response to the needs our constituents elevated during our Listen & Learn Tour. Residents in our seven target cities made clear that combatting food deserts, promoting community policing and de-escalation training, requiring law enforcement data reporting and prioritizing gun safety needed to be addressed – SO THAT’S WHAT WE DID!
