We're proud to represent the daughter of Mr. Jabari Asante-Chioke, a 52‑year‑old Black man killed by police in 2021. These records belong to the public, not kept in secrecy by Louisiana State Police.

On Monday, the ACLU of Louisiana team joined a coalition of other justice-focused organizations to descend on the State Capitol for the Reclaiming Justice Lobby Day. It was powerful to see so many people who want to change the justice system for the better come together!
