2024 Legislative Wrap-up

The 2024 Louisiana legislative session came to an end on Monday, June 3rd, after 84 days of whirlwind policy debates, life-shattering legislation, and intense political maneuvering. While there is much to unpack, we want to start by expressing our profound gratitude to each person and organization who stood with us in the fight for reproductive rights and bodily autonomy.

This year’s session had some bright spots, including advances in Black maternal health and HIV prevention. However, it also featured divisive and harmful rhetoric, bills, and decisions that will impact women and birthing people, queer and transgender youth, sexual assault survivors, physicians, and more in the years to come. We are sharing with you a high-level overview of the major takeaways from this session for women, girls, and queer and transgender people in Louisiana, along with a sneak peek at how Lift Louisiana plans to continue engaging and mobilizing the community for the remainder of the year.
