🚨 This is it. The Louisiana budget session is in its final stretch.

If lawmakers don't fully fund LA GATOR NOW, 17,000 families who applied and are waiting will be told to wait another year. Another year of their children in schools that aren't the right fit. Another year of unanswered need.

This is the vote that matters. This is the moment.

Pick up the phone. Send that email. Show up for Louisiana's kids.📣 Find your legislator: https://legis.la.gov

Hey Louisiana State Senate and Louisiana Senate Republicans!

Not sure if y'all saw- Louisiana's young families are watching and they have a message! They want LA GATOR! See the Louisiana Young Republicans chairman's op-ed about what the LA GATOR scholarship would mean to his young family.

If you believe in free markets and you believe in parental rights. Let's do the right thing.

Editor’s Note: a guest post by Ethan Estis, Chairman of the Louisiana Young Republicans Federation. I grew up in Richland Parish in rural northeast Louisiana.

🌟 Education freedom isn't just a policy — it's an investment in Louisiana's future.

When families can choose the right school, the right therapies, the right curriculum for their child, students thrive. And thriving students become the workforce, the leaders, and the community builders Louisiana needs.

LA GATOR isn't a cost. It's a down payment on Louisiana's next generation.

🏛️ The opposition to LA GATOR doesn't come from families — it comes from union lobbyists in Baton Rouge.

Every session, union-backed groups fight to limit school choice — because when parents have power, unions lose their grip. But 17,000 Louisiana families applied for LA GATOR this year. That's 17,000 reasons to fight back.

The budget vote is coming. Make sure YOUR voice is louder than the unions'.
