VOTE | Voice of the Experienced is a grassroots organization founded by & for people with convictions to create systemic justice reform in Louisiana & beyond.

We have chapters in Baton Rouge, Lafayette & New Orleans. Reach out to get involved! At VOTE, we've built a community of formerly incarcerated people (FIP), our loved ones, and allies to dismantle mass incarceration and improve public safety. We are experts on these topics because they are our lived experiences. Spanning across Louisiana, we have 3 chapters in Baton Rouge, Lafayette, and New Orleans. Together we draft and advocate for local and state-wide legislation, teach each other on how to maneuver the legal system, and form partnerships with other organizations to provide direct services to people with convictions. Ultimately, VOTE mobilizes a strong group of leaders to transform the (in)justice system. Read more, donate, and join us at https://www.voiceoftheexperienced.org/.

“VOTE like your life is depending on it because it does...”

Meet Larry Phillips, a formerly incarcerated community leader and owner of Trendy Spaces, where our VOTE Lafayette office is housed. Larry knows firsthand the barriers people face after incarceration and the importance of holding elected officials accountable, especially today.

Our voices deserve to be heard, and our communities deserve to be represented. But our VOTE is the only we make that happen.

Yesterday’s Second Line to the Polls with Southern University and special guest Meagan Good was more than a moment; it was a movement! Our vibrant young people showed up eager to make their voices heard on the last day of early voting. These future leaders aren’t sitting on the sidelines waiting for change but are fighting for it NOW!

This is what democracy looks like. It’s up to us to protect it.

Polls are open Tuesday, Nov. 3 from 6am-8pm.

Born and raised in Baton Rouge, Darius is no stranger to community. As a product of a Belfair family, he has seen the complexities of Baton Rouge firsthand. The beauty, but also the pain. The potential, but also the barriers. This is why he is on the ground as a VOTE canvasser, engaging with community and making sure they know the power in their voice and their VOTE.

It’s now time for you to know the power in yours and use it...because NOT voting costs too much.

Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3, and polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Make a plan. Go VOTE!
