⚠️ Action Alert: HB211

The Louisiana Fair Housing Action Center has created a Louisiana state wide action alert related to HB211 and are inviting individuals and organizations to review the information and consider adding their names in support.

Please add your name here: https://lafairhousing.salsalabs.org/homeslessnessnotacrime/index.html

Time is running out.

Here in Louisiana, everybody deserves a safe place to live. Instead of focusing on proven solutions to homelessness, like deeply affordable housing, HB 211 by Rep. Debbie Villio will criminalize homelessness and punish people who have no choice but to slee

“Red is believed to be the only color spirits can see, representing a calling back of the spirits of missing and murdered loved ones.” —Rev. Wanda Frenchman

Adopted by the 2025 ELCA Churchwide Assembly, the memorial "Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women" encourages "congregations, synods and the churchwide organization to observe annually MMIW Awareness Day on May 5 and to promote the wearing of red to raise awareness of MMIW."

Today is May 5, the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (also referred to as "Red Dress Day"). On this day we lament the MMIW crisis and call attention to the MMIW movement alongside our Indigenous siblings — those missing and those still searching for loved ones.

To learn more about this crisis and the movement it inspired, to find a tool kit of action steps and resources, and to plug in to the ongoing work of the ELCA's Indigenous Ministry and Tribal Relations network, visit elca.org/mmiw.

As you join us in observing Red Dress Day, we invite you to share in the comments section a photo of yourself wearing red in solidarity.

Pause.
Breathe.
Pray.

In the middle of the week, when the world feels loud and heavy, LIC is launching Wednesday’s Word and Witness, an invitation for the ecumenical church to gather in one Spirit. You are invited to pray with us - from wherever you are.

Each month will focus on a different theme. Throughout April, in honor of Earth Day, we are praying for our climate and environmental justice. Therefore, each Wednesday, we’ll share this simple liturgy, along with a Climate and Environmental Justice PEACE page to help us live what we pray. (PEACE = Pray. Educate. Advocate. Commit. Explore.).

Wherever you are, you can join in. And you won’t be praying alone.

Let this mid-week prayer form a rhythm that roots us more deeply in prayer and Christian unity.
