It’s not too late to get yourself together and handle your business. One difficult chapter does not have to define what comes next. Take this opportunity to address what’s been weighing on you and move forward with a plan.

Today, Saturday, October 10, the Shreveport City Marshal’s Office is holding Amnesty Day from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Shreveport City Courthouse.

People with eligible outstanding warrants through Shreveport City Court may have their warrant recalled, address the matter in court, and receive a new court date without being arrested or charged additional fees. If you have delinquent fines, you may pay them or request a new payment schedule.

Please note: Warrants involving domestic abuse battery, battery of a dating partner, DWI, or probation are not eligible for recall and require a bond.

Don’t let fear or embarrassment keep you from taking a step toward resolving your situation. There is still time today; show up, ask questions, and take care of your business.

🍂💧 Community, connection, and healthy living! 💧🍂

The NAACP had an amazing time connecting with attendees at the Community Fall Festival in Grand Cane. We enjoyed sharing information about the importance of hydration and encouraging families to make drinking water part of their everyday wellness routine.

Staying hydrated supports our bodies as we learn, work, play, and spend time outdoors. A few simple reminders: drink water throughout the day, bring a refillable bottle when you’re out, and remember that children and older adults may need extra encouragement to drink enough fluids. Water is especially important during active days and warm weather.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, joined the conversation, and helped make the festival such a welcoming community gathering. We’re grateful to St. Mark Baptist Church for hosting this event and bringing families together across DeSoto Parish.

The NAACP remains committed to promoting healthy, informed, and connected communities. 💙

📢 IMPORTANT VOTER INFORMATION

The Louisiana Illuminator reported that a database maintenance error temporarily changed the status of approximately 67,000 Louisiana voters to “inactive.” The Secretary of State’s office said it was correcting the records and that this temporary status change does not affect a voter’s eligibility or ability to vote.

The NAACP Shreveport Branch encourages everyone to check their voter registration status at GeauxVote.com⁠. If your information appears incorrect, contact your parish Registrar of Voters for assistance.

Read the report: https://lailluminator.com/2026/10/07/louisiana-voters-inactive/

Stay informed. Check your status. Make your voice heard.

The Louisiana Secretary of State’s office expects to restore the correct status for thousands of voters by Wednesday after a mishap during routine maintenance earlier this week switched them to inactive.
