Statewide effort to engage voters through volunteering, social media, events, and more
BATON ROUGE, LA - On September 19, 2024, the Louisiana Democratic Party will launch their new “Do Something Louisiana” initiative to help get out the vote for this fall’s elections, from the historic national presidential campaign of Kamala Harris, down to many of the other critical contested races here in Louisiana this year.
Inspired by the encouraging words of national Democratic leaders like former First Lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Kamala Harris, the state party will galvanize Louisiana voters to “Do Something” to help win this year’s elections by volunteering for Democratic campaigns, phone banking, writing postcards, engaging their networks on social media, hosting events, notifying purged voters, and more.
“At this year’s Democratic National Convention, we were inspired by our leaders echoing the wise words of Kamala Harris’ mother: ‘Don’t just sit around and complain. Do something.’ And that’s exactly what we’re asking Louisiana voters to do this fall,” said Louisiana Democratic Party Executive Director Drew Prestridge. “The state party will have many opportunities to volunteer for the Harris Walz campaign, as well as for our endorsed Democratic candidates, including Mel Manuel (Cong. Dist. 1), Rep. Troy Carter (Cong. Dist. 2), Sadi Summerlin (Cong. Dist. 3), Sen. Cleo Fields (Cong. Dist. 6), and Nick Laborde (Public Service Commission Dist. 2.) We are ready to engage voters, raise the resources it takes to win, and Do Something for Louisianans across this state who deserve and need policy-makers who actually serve and work for them.”
“If you’re sick of Jeff Landry, if you’re tired of low voter turnout, and if you want to give Kamala Harris a Congress she can work with — then it’s time to Do Something,” said Louisiana Democratic Party Chair Randal Gaines. “Michelle Obama said it best: ‘We don’t get to change the rules so we always win. If we see a mountain in front of us, we don’t expect there to be an escalator waiting to take us to the top. We put our heads down, we get to work, and we do something.’ The Louisiana Democratic Party is prepared to get out the vote, support our endorsed candidates best we can, and help give Kamala Harris a Congress she can work with from Day One. Join us!”
