Join CWA of Louisiana on #WearBlueDay

By | Louisiana | No Comments

In 2007, The U.S. Senate established January 11 as National Human Trafficking Awareness Day. Part of the U.S. government’s information campaign about combating human trafficking and modern-day enslavement is #WearBlueDay, sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security.

 

On Wednesday, January 11, Louisianians will have the opportunity to support the campaign and efforts of the Department of Homeland Security and the Governor’s Office of Human Trafficking Prevention by wearing blue.

 

Take action by participating in #WEARBLUEDAY on January 11. It’s simple! Wear a blue article of clothing or pin a blue ribbon on your shirt or lapel.

 

Educate yourself and learn how to recognize the signs that someone you encounter is being trafficked.

 

Pray for those who are victims of human trafficking.

 

“Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” Psalm 82:4

Encourage-A-Legislator Prayer Project – Louisiana

By | Louisiana | No Comments

Encourage-A-Legislator Program

“I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.” – I Timothy 2:1-2

The Call to Prayer

I Timothy 2:1-2 instructs us to pray for our leaders. Concerned Women for America’s (CWA) Encourage-A-Legislator (EAL) program offers our members and friends the vehicle to do this in an easy and meaningful way. It ensures consistent prayer for each legislator, and it encourages and builds bridges with conservative legislators as well as those who do not normally agree with us.

 

Whether a legislator is a believer, non-believer, conservative, liberal, Democrat, Republican, independent, or other, they need our prayers. This next legislative session, CWA plans to deliver those prayers.

The Goal

The goal of the EAL program is to encourage each member of the State House and Senate by praying for them on a regular basis and sending them a postcard throughout the legislative session.

 

The EAL program is never used to lobby and, therefore, is never confrontational. It is simply a great way to lift up those in authority and encourage them in their responsibilities.

The Commitment

We provide the name and address of the assigned legislator(s) and the postcards, and you commit to praying for your assigned legislator(s) daily, if possible, while the legislature is in session and then mail an EAL postcard bi-monthly until the conclusion of the two-month session.

The Louisiana Legislature

The Louisiana legislature is in session from April 10 till approximately June 8 and consists of 105 House members and 39 Senate members.

Answer the Call

Sign up today to be an encourager—it couldn’t be easier! Sign up today to be an encourager—it couldn’t be easier! Sign up by contacting CWA of Louisiana’s Encourage-A-Legislator Coordinator D. Hoehl at 337-340-7101 or by email at [email protected] and provide her with your name and physical mailing address. Be sure to specify how many legislators you would like to encourage. She will then enlist you as an encourager and send you a packet of postcards and instructions in late March.

Spread the Word!

Please encourage your friends and family to sign up.

 

Consider making this a family project by involving your children.

Roe vs. Wade is Overturned! CWA of Louisiana Responds

By | Louisiana | No Comments

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 24, 2022                                          

FOR MORE INFORMATION: Laura Huber (504) 236-8546

 

 

Concerned Women for America of Louisiana

Applauds the SCOTUS Decision to Overturn Roe v. Wade

 

Covington, Louisiana – It’s a day to celebrate! The overturn of Roe v. Wade restores Louisiana’s right to protect the life of unborn babies across the state from abortion.

 

Concerned Women for America of Louisiana State Director Laura Huber, speaking for Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee, has this to say concerning the Supreme Court Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision:

 

“In 2006, the Louisiana legislator passed the Human Life Protection Act, which ensures that the state of Louisiana has the authority to prohibit abortion following the reversal of Roe v. Wade. In addition, the Louisiana Love Life Amendment passed in 2020 protects our pro-life laws prohibiting state judges from ‘finding’ a right to abortion or funding abortion in the Louisiana Constitution.

 

“And just this week, Gov. Bel Edwards signed into law several pro-life bills. The Governor made this statement on the bill signing, ‘My position on abortion has been unwavering. I am pro-life and have never hidden that fact.’

 

“Organizations around Louisiana stand ready to support, encourage, and advocate for pregnant mothers and children. Through solid resources to assist and good legislation, Louisiana is prepared to support a culture of life that protects all.”

Urge Gov. Bel Edwards to Sign the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act!

By | Louisiana | No Comments

The Fairness in Women’s Sports Act (SB 44) has passed the Louisiana Legislature with bipartisan support and now awaits Gov. John Bel Edwards’ (Democrat) signature. You can read my press release here.

 

It is your voice that is making the difference! Thank you for sending messages to the House and Senate members encouraging them to pass this important piece of legislation that will protect sports for women and girls.

 

However, the work is not over yet. I need for you to make one last call to Gov. Bel Edwards and urge him to sign the bill. He must hear from us – that we stand with him to protect girls’ sports.

 

ACT TODAY! Please email, call, or tweet Gov. Bel Edwards through our Action Center HERE and urge him to stand on the side of female athletes and sign SB 44 and protect women’s sports. Girls should not be forced to compete against men playing on women’s sports teams.  

 

Be sure to share this information with like-minded family and friends.

Press Release: Louisiana Legislature Votes to Protect Women’s Sports

By | Louisiana, Women's Sports | No Comments

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Laura Huber at 504-236-8546

 

Bipartisan majority sends the Fairness in Women’s
Sports Act to the Governor’s desk

 

Baton Rouge, LA – This week, the Louisiana House passed the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act (SB 44). The bill, which has bipartisan support, now heads to Gov. John Bel Edwards’ desk for his signature. This is the second year in a row that the state legislature has stood on the side of female athletes and sent a bill to the governor’s desk. After vetoing the bill last year, Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee (CWALAC) calls on Gov. Bel Edwards to sign the bill.  

 

The Fairness in Women’s Sports Act would prohibit biological men from competing on women’s scholastic sports teams. It would ensure that female athletes will continue to be afforded the opportunity to compete on a level playing field.

 

Laura Huber, CWA of Louisiana State Director, had this to say, “Thank you, Louisiana Legislature, for fighting for female athletes and passing the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act. We now call on Gov. Bel Edwards to stand with female athletes and sign the bill into law. Female athletes in Louisiana deserve to have an equal playing field in their sport of choice.”

 

CWALAC is leading the charge to save women’s sports.

The Future of Female Sports in Louisiana – It Depends on You!

By | Louisiana | No Comments

“So, God created man in His own image; in the image of God, He created him; male and female He created them.” – Genesis 1:27

Last year, Concerned Women for America (CWA) of Louisiana fought hard on the girls’ sports bill that would have allowed only girls to complete in girls’ sports. The bill passed with bipartisan support, only to be vetoed by Gov. John Bel Edwards. An attempt to override the veto failed.

The fight to save women’s sports in Louisiana is back, and we need your help! SB44, a bill that would promote fairness in women’s sports, was introduced by Sen. Beth Mizell (R- District 12) and has been assigned to the Senate Education Committee. The chairman and committee members need to hear from you, particularly if you are a constituent of a committee member, about the importance of ensuring girls have a fair playing field in sports.

Take Action:

  1. Contact the members of the Senate Education Committee and ask them to support SB44. The committee members are listed below my signature. If you are a constituent, be sure to let them know.  Use this link to find out who represents you in the state legislature.
  2. Forward this information to family and friends.

Visit Concerned Women for America’s Standing With Female Athletes page for timely resources on this issue. Read CWA’s Fact Sheet – Protect Women’s Sports.

Please Pray: Pray that Louisiana state senators will not be overcome with timidity and “political correctness” and will handle this issue with positive and fair wisdom for the girls and women of Louisiana.

Louisiana House Throws Female Athletes Under the Bus

By | Louisiana | No Comments

The Louisiana House of Representatives failed to override Gov. John Bel Edwards (Democrat) veto of SB 156, Fairness in Womens’ Sports Act. The Louisiana Senate voted to override the veto the previous day.

Concerned Women for America of Louisiana State Director, Laura Huber, had this to say of the failed veto override, “It is devastating that a minority of lawmakers have prevailed today to throw our daughters under the bus and deny them equal rights to safety and opportunity in sports that women fought so hard to achieve. We thank the legislators of both parties who have stood with courage and conviction to fight for fair play for Louisiana’s female athletes. We will continue to stand with you!”

Who Gets to Compete in Women’s Sports Competitions?

By | Louisiana, Uncategorized | No Comments

“So, God created man in His own image; in the image of God, He created him; male and female He created them.” – Genesis 1:2

Fair competition and equality in women’s sports are being threatened. Individual male born athletes should not be eligible to participate on an athletic team that is exclusively for females – from kindergarten to high school to college (NCAA).

Many biological girls train and work hard to excel in their chosen sport with the goal of a college scholarship. When a biological boy, who thinks he is a girl, is allowed to compete with the biological girls because of his natural endurance and strength, he steals the prize.

SB156, a bill that would promote fairness in women’s sports, has been introduced by Sen. Beth Mizell (R-District 12). The bill has been assigned to the Louisiana Senate Education Committee. The chairman and members of the committee need to hear from you (particularly if you are a constituent of a committee member) about the importance of ensuring girls have a fair playing field in sports.

Visit Concerned Women for America’s Standing with Female Athletes page for timely resources on this issue. Download and distribute CWA’s Protecting Women’s Sports CWA Fact Sheet.

The committee members are listed below my sign If you are a constituent, be sure to let them know. Not sure if you are a constituent, then click here.

By | Louisiana | No Comments

Are You an Encourager of Encouragers?
Impact the State Legislature with Prayer and Encouragement

Concerned Women for America (CWA) of Louisiana is currently seeking a coordinator to oversee our Encourage-A-Legislator (EAL) program. The EAL Coordinator prepares the EAL packet of postcards and instructions and mails to the EAL participants. She also communicates with participants throughout the legislative session. The Louisiana 2021 session is scheduled to convene on Monday, April 12, and adjourn on Thursday, June 10.

About the EAL Program
EAL is a program of encouragement and prayer for our Louisiana state legislators while the Louisiana legislature is in session. It involves sending postcards of encouragement and praying for an assigned legislator throughout the session. EAL is designed to pray for and encourage the legislators with no mention of legislation or policy. Whether conservative or liberal, the goal is to uplift the legislator and to remind him or her that they are prayed for regularly.

Are you interested in learning more about the position of EAL Coordinator? I am happy to talk to you and answer any questions you may have. Please contact me by e-mail or phone (504) 236-8546 if you have an interest in more information on joining our CWA of Louisiana team.

Supreme Court Rules Against Louisiana Women and Life

By | Louisiana | No Comments

Last week, the Supreme Court failed the women of Louisiana by invalidating a law meant to protect women by raising the standard of care to an acceptable level in cases of abortion. The state of Louisiana sought to close the inadequacy in the law that permitted abortionists to operate at a lower care level than any other medical provider.

You can read CWA’s coverage of the court’s decision in the following articles:

Concerned Women for America (CWA) of Louisiana express our heartfelt gratitude to Louisiana Attorney General, Jeff Landry; Solicitor General, Liz Murril, and Sen. Katrina Jackson (D-Monroe) for their all their work on the case.

While this was a very disappointing decision, we press forward. CWA of Louisiana will not relent in our efforts to protect women and to protect life.

Take Action
Contact me today to learn more about the work of CWA of Louisiana. You are needed, and I would love to talk with you on how you can influence and impact our culture here in Louisiana through prayer, education, and action.

Please pray for mothers who are facing “unplanned pregnancies” and feel their only choice is to end the life of their child. Please pray women who find themselves in crisis pregnancies will find help at a Christian-based Crisis Pregnancy Center where they will not only receive the emotional and financial help that they need but have the Good News of the Gospel shared with them.

Thank You to All Who Encouraged!

By | Louisiana | No Comments

Concerned Women for America (CWA) of Louisiana’s 2020 Encourage-A-Legislator (EAL) Project had one of the largest groups of EAL volunteers we have ever had in the many years we have sponsored this project. Surely there has never been a more critical time to encourage our elected officials! We yearned to strengthen them as we prayed for them to take a more courageous stand for the cause of liberty and righteousness, and hopefully this included those who did not agree with us in ideology. May each official fully realize we covered them in prayer – not challenging them by any political perspective – but affirming them in such a way that they were edified and encouraged.

Thank you, Debbie Hoehl, our EAL Coordinator and the 82 people who volunteered this year! 144 elected officials were covered in all. Through this unusual session, several legislators responded and expressed their appreciation for the spiritual support and prayer of CWA of Louisiana EAL volunteers.

Legislative Update

  • Louisiana’s state legislature wrapped up its 2020 legislative session on Monday, June 1, at 6:00 p.m. Due to COVID-19, the regular session was abruptly cut short. The state legislature began a First Extraordinary Session on Monday, June 1, at 6:01 p.m. and will adjourn on June 30, at 6:00 p.m.
  •  Pray: Please continue to keep the Louisiana state legislature in your prayers as they move forward and work on our behalf to finish the necessary legislation for 2020.

“… being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 1:6)

Volunteer Opportunities
We have several ways to volunteer with CWA of Louisiana. Do any of these sound like you?

  • Do you desire to see our country radically affected through the energized efforts of prayer warriors? Consider starting a Prayer/Action Chapter in your community or forming a social media and email team to communicate CWA of Louisiana alerts by volunteering as a Home Team Captain.
  • Do you enjoy the legislative process and have a desire to work on family-related and pro-life issues here in Louisiana? Consider becoming a Legislative Liaison to coordinate our response to legislation through our state alerts, thus encouraging members to write, e-mail, and call to testify on bills related to our seven core issues. Training is provided.
