The state and local government here in Louisiana is overrun with corruption but luckily there is an organization that is holding them accountable. The group that was founded by Michael Lunsford is called Citizens for a New Louisiana. Though the group was started in Lafayette it now has members statewide.
I just learned about Citizens for a New Louisiana on the William Wallis For America podcast.
From the Citizens for a New Louisiana website:
WHAT WE DO
CITIZENS FOR A NEW LOUISIANA is the most effective LOCAL GOVERNMENT WATCHDOG group in the entire state. We strive to reach ultimate GOVERNMENT TRANSPARENCY and ACCOUNTABILITY with our elected officials.
We attend meetings, submit requests for public records, and review countless public documents to uncover the truth, keep the citizen’s informed, and present it in a way everyone can understand.
WHERE WE WORK
Making LOCAL GOVERNMENT more transparent takes work all over the Acadiana area: from city and parish council and school board meetings, to newspaper offices and private chats with various public officials.
However, we still need a place to hold meetings and coordinate our efforts with volunteers. That space is in an atrium suite inside beautiful Gordon Square at the corner of Jefferson and Vermilion Streets in Downtown Lafayette.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
It’s been said that CITIZENS FOR A NEW LOUISIANA has a disproportionate amount of influence for the resources at our disposal. We’re incredibly accomplished despite only having two staff members and a few volunteers.
Non-profit organizations thrive on volunteers and donors, and we’re no exception. Volunteers can help us be in more places at once, and more funds can help us reach a larger audience. Both are vitally important and can only be provided by the community.
