Summary
Louisiana Democrats gathered at Dillard University on July Fourth to rally against Governor Jeff Landry’s administration, accusing it of launching a coordinated attack on democracy and Black voting rights. The summit followed controversial redistricting that eliminated a majority-Black congressional district held by Rep. Cleo Fields, plus Landry’s pause on the U.S. congressional primary. Attendees, including Reps. Troy Carter and Cleo Fields, also condemned new Republican laws stripping judicial and clerical positions in New Orleans Parish, calling them deliberate moves to dilute Black political power. Organizers declared this just the start of a broader mobilization ahead of the midterms, vowing to fight back with unity and determination to protect their rights.
