America can enforce the law and honor its values.

Baton Rouge, it’s time to STEP UP for our public defenders! The city’s proposed budget threatens to cut the Public Defenders office by a staggering 38%. This isn’t just a funding issue. It’s racial justice and community stability.
Meet us at City Hall at noon on Dec. 8! 🤝

🍞Our community deserves more than crumbs.
Step Up presents a creative performance protest, “Billionaires and Breadcrumbs,” in front of City Hall to highlight that as the City works through the ongoing budget crisis, workers are the ones fearing for their job security.

🚫NO TO MORE POLLUTION PERMITS 💨
Join us at the public hearing TOMORROW, when the community has a chance to raise their concerns regarding CF Industries’ request for air pollution permits. They NEED these permits in order to build their new ammonia plant, and it’s not too late!

If you haven’t heard, we had a plant explosion in Amite, Louisiana yesterday. Smitty’s is a small plant but the explosion is dumping ash, oil and debris on the residents.
