Louisiana is voting on 4 constitutional amendments that will make politicians richer, more powerful, and less accountable. They're using smoke & mirrors to pass them because they thought we wouldn't be paying attention. But we are. Visit NoToThemAll.org and VOTE NO ❌

Every child deserves a chance to thrive—not a life defined by harm and incarceration. Stories like Jaylah’s highlight how vulnerable youth, particularly those arrested for minor offenses, are often left to navigate a justice system that does more to punish than rehabilitate. bit.ly/3DbL5PX

As shown in this story from The Appeal, if Amendment 3 passes, system-involved youth would be exposed to a wide array of harms and abuses within the adult criminal legal system instead of the rehabilitative services associated with the juvenile legal system. Say NO to Amendment 3 here: noon3la.org
