😂 This is a perfect representation of how #lalege is absolute chaos. I mean, no other soda combo would truly fit that building the way this does.
I hope yall heard the amazing words of Sen. @ReginaBarrow and Sen. @BethMizell on the floor today. Louisiana is on track for a very deadly year, with at least 9 domestic homicides statewide in May alone, and the month is not over. These deaths are preventable. #lalege

.@LAGovJeffLandry said he will add back funding for domestic violence shelters to the state budget.
My story last week when a anti-DV advocate said she would have to close shelter beds because of a reduction in funding. #lalege #lagov lailluminator.com/2025/02/21…

Honored to have received the Legislative Partner Award of the Louisiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence! Together, we'll work towards a safer, more supportive community. Let's end domestic violence in Louisiana! #EndDomesticViolence #LouisianaStrong

I spoke with multiple families of domestic abuse victims about today's Rahimi decision to uphold a federal gun law temporarily disarming abusers who have been subject to a restraining order rollingstone.com/politics/po… @RollingStone

Lawmakers question @LAGovJeffLandry's administration about its funding cut for #domesticviolence shelters. @JSODonoghue reports plans to open new sites & expand existing ones are in limbo. lailluminator.com/2024/03/13… #lalege

Critics have maligned Louisiana's 2017 criminal justice overhaul as bad for victims, but it has been largest, most consistent source of state funding for domestic violence victims services in years. Will that continue? #lalege lailluminator.com/2024/02/19…
A very big deal! Can't wait to see the amazing expansion this will bring. People's needs being met, survivors finding safety, healing, and justice. Great things happen when we invest in survivors. 💜
A groundbreaking accomplishment: Coalition secures $7 million for domestic violence shelters in state budget! We commend the tireless work of advocates and survivors to secure this funding and we thank the legislators who fought to include it. lcadv.org/coalition-secures-…
A long overdue investment in one of Louisiana's most well-documented unmet needs. We urge #lalege to prioritize this funding in its budget negotiations. @LCADV
Advocates for #DomesticViolence victims have complained for years that Louisiana provides minimal state funding for their shelters and services, especially when compared to other states. @JSODonoghue reports. #lalege lailluminator.com/2023/06/05…
As Senate Finance releases their budget plan, a friendly/urgent reminder that HB1 currently provides $0 state funds for domestic violence shelters. We have the chance to fix this. #lalege
Hundreds of millions in state construction $$$ will be yanked from the state budget unless conservative House members agree to increase the state’s spending cap, Senate President Page Cortez said. @JSODonoghue reports. #lalege lailluminator.com/2023/06/02…
At the risk of filling out someone's #lalege bingo card, EVEN MISSISSIPPI provides $12 million for victim services.

ICYMI: The Louisiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence and other shelters across the state are requesting state funding to help with the lack of resources trib.al/REgzRaL #LocalNews #LouisianaNews
12 hour police response time for DV calls, rarely held Gwen's Law hearings, victims unable to get protection orders because of illegal filing fees, and ZERO state dollars in the budget for DV shelters. Just a small sample of how Louisiana shows women we are expendable. #lalege
“In the month leading up to her killing, Davis had called in two domestic-related emergencies to the New Orleans Police Department, according to Talley's arrest warrant, but police marked those calls "gone on arrival."” nola.com/news/crime_police/e…

Deep federal budget cuts are leading to a lack of basic safety resources for victims of violence. Tell senators we must fund domestic violence shelters in HB1. #lalege #enddv
“At the end of the day, our state budget is a reflection of our state’s priorities."
The Domestic Abuse Resistance Team (DART) in Ruston faces budget shortages due to sizable cuts in federal funding. @calebwrites has the story:

On the 10-year anniversary of #NoTeenShame, I wrote about how a campaign run by young moms with no budget challenged major nonprofits and changed the way we think about teen pregnancy.

Among our state's most well-documented unmet needs, and ample opportunity to address it. Fund domestic violence shelters. #lalege #enddv
A failure to fund services for victims of dv in a state with a domestic homicide rate nearly twice the national average is not only bad policy; it is an abject moral failure and an abdication of our duty to protect the most vulnerable. lcadv.org/coalition-issues-s… #lalege #enddv

MUST READ by @JSODonoghue: After 23 years in prison for killing her abuser, she hopes no one in Louisiana has to do that again #lalege #DomesticViolence lailluminator.com/2023/05/06…
