. @LaGovJeffLandry has signed into law HB173 by Republican Rep. Bryan Fontenot to make it a crime to approach within 25 feet of a police officer on the job if the officer orders the person to stop. Violations carry up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine. #lalege

@mgordonolson @TheLensNOLA @mayorcantrell @NOLACityCouncil @JPMorrell @lesliharris @voteeugenegreen @otforus @freddiekingiii @CmGiarrusso The @NOLACityCouncil funded this program as the article states, and we were proud to work with advocates to do so, but like many other projects departments have failed to make expenditures to move forward. Will hold a public hearing to get to the bottom of this delay.

[The Lens @TheLensNOLA]

#OPINION The contributions of Vietnamese and Latin American residents in New Orleans are significant but underrepresented in city communications and politics. A pilot Language Access Program could change that.

Many immigrants struggle with accessing mental health care because of immigration status, finances, or stigma.

Each of us should be able to access the care we need without barriers.

As we participate in this monumental moment in the history of social movements, we can't emphasize enough how important it is to maintain an archive of the encampments. @iHPSouth put together an amazing zine on how to archive a protest! Check out the PDF https://t.co/ng0oFNqeLE
