During this clinic we were able to clear outstanding warrants offering vital assistance for residents. Local judges, clerks, and a Secretary of State representative ensured a supportive environment for attendees seeking help with identification challenges. We express heartfelt gratitude to all who attended and contributed. Your presence and support created a meaningful impact in our community.   Mobilizing Voters Across Louisiana Over the past few weeks, the Blackest Bus in America has been on the road in Louisiana mobilizing our community for the upcoming 2023 Gubernatorial & Legislative Elections. At 10 stops across the state, we educated participants on the importance of casting their ballot to make progress on issues ranging from environmental injustice to gun violence to educational inequalities, and more. It is clear that our communities are ready and empowered to use their voices and cast their ballots in this upcoming election on October 14th!   Help Us Get Our Children Out of Angola Right now, countless young individuals are trapped in nightmarish conditions at Angola, a former death row unit in an adult prison and former plantation for enslaved Africans in Louisiana. We are working with our partner, [Families and Friends of Louisiana's Incarcerated Children](, who has been at the forefront of this movement, tirelessly advocating for the immediate release of these children who continue to suffer in harsh conditions like heat and isolation which [some experts say]( could cause serious and irreversible harm. Join us in standing up for justice by signing this petition for change. Together, we possess the power to shape a better future for these children. [SIGN THE PETITION NOW](   Volunteer With BVM! Join us tomorrow, August 17th, at 6pm ET for our next virtual event in the “My Mic Sounds Nice” postcard series.
