Happy 64th Birthday to former President Barack Obama Obama! 🎉🎉 From making history as the first African American President of the US to passing the Affordable Care Act, Obama showed us a better way forward for our nation. Join us today in wishing him a very happy birthday!

We are excited to put out an open call to the Louisiana community for our Comms Team! These volunteer positions are the heart of the YDL community, and a powerful way to make a difference in Louisiana and the greater Young Democrats of America.

#OPINION "In Louisiana, more than 200,000 people could lose coverage under Healthy Louisiana. Many don’t even realize that Medicaid is the coverage they rely on: for themselves, their kids, their aging parents, or their disabled loved ones." ✍️ @grangerforla.bsky.social 🔗 buff.ly/9kERz0J

Republicans voted to defund PBS and NPR to quiet facts they can’t control. They don’t want your kids learning from Sesame Street. They want corporate propaganda. 2026 is right around the corner. Let’s vote them out. #Grangerforla

Since the spring, federal agents have been patrolling government buildings in New York City, waiting to arrest migrants as soon as they step out of a courtroom, regardless of the status of their case.

After last night's assassination attacks in Minnesota, we continue to keep State Senator John Hoffman and his wife in our prayers.

Our heart goes out to the two Minnesota politicians and their spouses who were shot last night in their homes. There is no room for violence in politics which uses fear to silence opposition. Louisiana is mourning for the late Rep. Melissa Hortman.

Trump's actions in LA are disgusting in so many ways, and they're taken right out of Donny's favorite Project 2025. Don't let this become normal in America! Speak out! #YDL #GavinNewsom #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace

Louisiana knows all too well how quickly things can go from calm skies to crisis. That’s why we’re urging everyone across the state: don’t wait to get prepared. Water. Food. Meds. Devices. A plan. Even if it’s a quiet season, it only takes one to change everything.

Pride has always been and will always be a protest. And with everything happening in Louisiana right now, we still have plenty to protest. We’re not backing down. Not now. Not ever.

On this day where we honor our fallen soldiers, Trump -like always - made it about himself despite not serving a day in his life. He didn't even mention the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers. Shame on you, Donny - America's sacrifices will always be stronger than your hate.

Louisiana has lost heroes in every generation. Today, we remember and honor them.

🗣️ A proposal that would have pushed more Louisiana youth into adult court has been blocked—an important win for juvenile justice. Our kids deserve compassion, guidance, and the chance to grow; not to be thrown into a system that wasn’t built for them. #lagov #lalege

REPOST Louisiana Democrats three bills to watch this week #lalege #lagov

Update from YDL: Jay Braxton has officially stepped down as President of the Young Democrats of Louisiana. As we turn the page, we’re proud to welcome J.E. DuBois as our Acting Interim President. 💙 Rad the full statements and stay tuned for what’s next.

Nothing says transparency like a 96-page substitute bill dropped the day before! #lagov #lalege #TrustUsWeSwear

📣 The Women’s Caucus is meeting today, May 14 at 5 PM CST, and we’d love for you to join us! Meeting link: meet.google.com/hrj-iuks-hhf Together, we’re building a better Louisiana. #lagov #lalege

Another day, another MAGA-induced conspiracy at the Louisiana Capitol

Happy Mother's Day to every mom, step-mom, honorary mom, dog mom, and any type of mother out there. You make the world go 'round.

A few of our members gathered at the State Capitol for Reproductive Freedom Day, a powerful day of activism, education, and advocacy. 💜 Folks from across Louisiana came together to support each other in the fight for reproductive health, rights, and justice. #lagov #lalege

🌈 Young Democrats of Louisiana LGBTQ+ Caucus Meeting 📅 Wednesday, May 14 | ⏰ 8–9 PM 💻 Join us on Google Meet: meet.google.com/mqa-xvdt-gvu 🗳️ Elections for caucus chair positions will take place during the meeting. Let’s come together to organize, uplift, and advocate for equality. #lagov #lalege

🚨 HB 425 is a threat to reproductive freedom in Louisiana. We deserve clarity, compassion, and autonomy. Call your rep and demand they vote NO and tune in tomorrow at 9:30 AM for the house and governmental affairs committee. #lagov #lalege

🚨 HB 421 is a direct attack on progress in Louisiana. We can’t let this bill pass. Call your rep and demand they vote NO and tune in tomorrow at 9:30 AM for the house and governmental affairs committee. #lagov #lalege

Reproductive Freedom Day at the Capitol is here! If you're at the capital, look for other young dems! #lagov #lalege

📢 Reproductive Freedom Day at the Capitol is almost here! Join us on Wednesday, May 7, 2025 at the Louisiana State Capitol in Baton Rouge to advocate for reproductive rights across our state. Let’s raise our voices together and show up strong for reproductive freedom. 💪🏾💜 #lagov #lalege

History made in Lake Charles! 💥 On May 3, voters elected their FIRST Black mayor, Marshall Simien. This is what progress looks like when our communities show up and build coalitions. Congrats, Mayor-Elect Simien; we’re rooting for you!

BIG WIN ALERT 🚨 There's another fighter headed back to the Capitol thanks to the voters! Congrats to Rep-Elect Terry Landry Jr. on securing the Baton Rouge-area seat in the Louisiana House! Let’s keep building power across this state. 💪🏾 #lalege #lagov #ydlouisiana

Calling all rural organizers, advocates & YD's 🗣️ The YDL Rural Caucus is meeting TONIGHT at 6PM to talk #lalege, vent, and brainstorm a rural outreach project. Come through virtually. 📅 May 4 at 6PM (TODAY!) 📍 Virtual 📧 RSVP: [email protected] #lagov #louisiana #youngdemocrats #ruralcaucus

📣 Louisiana, it’s time to stand up for survivors. HB215 would give minors who become pregnant from rape or sexual abuse the ability to access abortion care without needing a police report or prosecution. We believe no survivor should be retraumatized to get the care they need. #lalege #lagov

The fight doesn’t stop at the Capitol. 💪 Join the Women’s Caucus General Body Meeting on Wednesday, May 14 at 5PM CST as we debrief Reproductive Freedom Day, build power through new subcommittees and kick off our “passion presentations.”

Thank you Rep. Kyle Green for calling it like it is: HB438 sounds like accountability, but it lacks teeth. Don’t fall for the headline. #LaLege #DoBetter #LaGov

Cool story bro.... #lalege #lagov

🚨 SB134 is giving big "just trust us" energy. Senator Luneau asked the obvious: If it's so clear, why do you need a new law? #lagov #lalege

🚨 HB293 isn't just about union sign-up timelines. It's loaded with extra language meant to chip away at workers’ rights and silence educators. If lawmakers cared about fixing the process, they’d fix that, not sneak in power grabs. Tell your reps to vote NO. #LaLege #LaGov

33 years stolen. $40,000 a year is all Louisiana offers for a life wrongfully taken by the system. Now the #LAGOP wants to make it harder for people to get justice AND they want to shift the cost away from the state entirely. How is that justice? #lalege #lagov

Funny how “medical choice” matters now. A witness just called fluoride in public water a “violation of medical ethics” and “abuse of power.” These same folks were silent when it came to real bodily autonomy. #SB2 bans water fluoridation statewide. Call your reps. #LaLege #PublicHealth #LaGov

Why should the Ethics Board get to meet in the dark? Rep. Steven Jackson’s HB216 says: turn the cameras on. Stream it. Archive it. Let the people watch. Transparency shouldn’t be optional. #LaLege #LaGov #LetUsSee
