What’s happening in Georgia is possible in Mississippi. The Blackest state in America. What’s happening in Georgia is possible in Louisiana. The second Blackest state in America. It requires resources, organization, & progressive candidates. We can build a #NewBlackSouth

My new ad, ‘Scars and Bars.’ Here in Louisiana and all around the South, it feels like Jim Crow never left and the remnants of the Confederacy remain. I do believe the South will rise again, but this time, it’ll be on our terms. Join us at ChambersforLouisiana.com

It’s official, I’m running for Congress. It’s time for THE PEOPLE to be the #1 priority in Washington. TOGETHER we will win! Let’s get to work. ChambersforCongress.com nitter.app/shaunking/status/13460…

It’s official, I’m running for Congress. You’ve inspired me, to jump in the race for La.’s 2nd congressional district to go fight for THE PEOPLE. If we come together around a shared vision for progress we will win. Let’s make change happen TOGETHER. ChambersforCongress.com

Black men, when you see this consider no men were present. We need to show up to vote and ensure our people are treated right.

The Honorable Hakeem Jeffries of New York just gave the best opening speech I’ve ever heard for a session of Congress in my lifetime. Possibly the best in history from a minority leader of a party. He gave poetic delivery of what is possible in America. I pray for his success.

Humbled by the support from around the country. Excited to be having a conversation on @Morning_Joe tomorrow morning, to discuss the importance of renaming buildings and institutions after Black Americans. We’ve got work to do! #KeepPushing

So @IngrahamAngle asked on Fox News, who I am. I’m a free man, that’s who. A fighter for justice & equity, that’s who. The conservatives are going to attack us, so we need you to have our back. Chip in at chambersforlouisiana.com And Laura, I ain’t hard to find… #MoreOfUs

Where did all the racists from those 1960s photos go? I’ve got living relatives older than Ruby Bridges. We act like the people in those photos just magically stopped being racist. No — they stopped sending their kids to public schools. A lot of private schools in America were created right after segregation ended. Those same people raised children who went to those schools, grew up, and kept passing down those beliefs. They just learned not to say certain words in public. But the current climate proves there are still millions of people in this country focused on advancing their rights while diminishing ours — just like then. People call me radical. But nothing I’ve supported has been radical. Some folks have just been more comfortable — comfortable enough to ignore America’s realities. That comfort’s wearing off every day under this administration and in governors’ offices across the nation. The sooner more of us accept reality, the sooner we can build a new one — one that’s just, equitable, and profitable for all people. Always good to be with @urbanleaguela.

There are 3 Black men in the U.S. Senate, 1 of them, Tim Scott voted no on confirming Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. There is always one of us, who thinks they know better than the rest of us Black folks. His no vote is a disgrace. Yea I said it.

When Trump said Hispanic migrants are “taking Black jobs,” what he really meant was: Black folks are taking white jobs, and we need to get the plantation back in order. I’m from the Deep South—the 50th-ranked state in the country. A state that’s over a third Black, yet run by conservatives who always find a way to blame Black communities for its failures. So, I’m never shocked by statements like these. But I do wonder—do all the folks who like to play nice and pretend everything is fine still feel that way today? We have a choice in how we move forward with each other. Trump should be letting the investigation play out, but he can’t help himself. He’s on a mission to restore what he and Elon see as the natural order: intelligent white men and women in charge—who, in reality, are just mediocre—backed by a handful of others who pledge their loyalty to whiteness. At this point, I just want us to stop pretending. And to the Black folks who never support Black leaders—is this better? The future we want won’t build itself. It’s on us to fight for—now.

Currently 88,184 Black voters out of 942,000 have gone to early vote. I’m making this video earlier than before hoping you’ll help me amplify this like. We have several days and can collectively challenge our people to get out and go vote, and go do it early. Straight up, unless they got a sticker assume they lied. Currently 9 out of every 10 Black people have yet to vote. This is how we end up with less resources because we aren’t doing our part on the front side. The Democratic Party is failing Louisiana another year. I’m going to say it again, we aren’t a red state, we are an underfunded state and it shows in voter turnout. It increases when the investment increases. I cast my vote. I’m do your part and also text this to 10 people and get them locked in. By Saturday we can see a drastic change if we get to talking. #CivicsforthePeople

Update: 107,690 Black people in Louisiana have gone to vote. These numbers are down from 2020. We now have 834,310 Black people who can got vote between now and Saturday. In the last 24 hours 10,000 of you shared the last post. Lets get active by tagging people and directly asking them do they plan to early vote. Text the video and ask them if they will go tomorrow. We can collectively run the numbers up. We live in a time where digital civic engagement is possible if we are strategic. I’m not talking just to talk, I’m telling you we can do something everyday until the last day to vote on November 5th. They win, because we think we can’t do anything. We can. So let’s do something. There are 800,000 Black people in Louisiana remaining to vote. If we can do better we can fight to get funding to win our own statewide races.

Y’all heard @bigfreedia, go early vote, TODAY.

Why did I smoke a blunt in my ad? Law enforcement in Louisiana is still bragging on locking people up for cannabis. This was in north Louisiana this week. While the same front page says medical cannabis in our state isn’t affordable for citizens. It’s inequitable & unjust.

An artist in California did this painting. I’m humbled, truly. I love it @blankspaceremoval on Instagram did this. Thank you truly.

What Byron Donald and other republicans want you to believe is they are out there fighting for you. In actuality they are fighting to advance themselves and the people who elected did. The Congressman didn’t like that I let the room know his district is majority white, why? Because he’s been trying to get Black folks to vote for a man who wants to give cops immunity. Pay attention to who the messenger is when they ask you to vote a certain way. Also, don’t discount the largest male voting block democrats have. I’m going to continue to say it. We need to consider the messaging being used about Black men. Does it get us more Black men to the table or fewer? I think our objective should be more. My objective is always #MoreofUS. Click the link in my bio for the full conversation. @tezlynfigaro put together a powerful discussion for @revoltnews at @revoltworld. #KeepPushing

A group of 5-10 white men, organized and fundraised with 800 people, to mobilize a vote of 17,421 people to breakaway and create a new city in my home town. People often ask me why I’m so direct about race. It’s in my face everyday how clear some in our city think about Black people and leadership. Baton Rouge is only on its 2nd Black mayor in its 200 year history. So historic neglect by previous leaders created a tale of two cities. I’ve been saying it for over a decade. Now it’s here. One day these videos I make will start getting you to ask why aren’t you doing more? These white men all over 50 just organized an effort that will impact us for the next 200 years. And if more people had showed up, if more people had organized, we wouldn’t be here. To my folks in Atlanta. Take notice. Buckhead and what they attempted to do a few years ago, trust they are taking note. I hope you are too. There are people in this country who will do everything in their power not to be under Black leadership. Let’s be clear, what’s wrong with America wasn’t created by Black people. What’s wrong in Louisiana is inequity that breeds all the social ills including crime. I want to be very clear, they drew the line in the sand when they created a new city. So I intend to be lending my voice to make sure we protect every investment for the citizens of Baton Rouge. We’ve built the South Side, and they packed up their toys. Now, it’s time for Baton Rouge to do what is in the best interest of Baton Rouge. This is and has always been a war for resources for them, we need to do whatever is in our power to protect our resources as a city. There is no room to compromise with people who have literally divided this community, to make a 70% white city. All the people who say, they couldn’t put up with what people put up with in the 1960’s. You’re on the clock, we in the field working at this change. You can join us whenever you realize these types of people are after your kids resources everyday. You’re paying into the system it’s about time we fully take control of some things and show folks what to do with power. Yall gone hear me one day… #KeepPushing #AlwaysRising in spite of

Black Conservatives love to talk about accountability — but forget who’s been running the worst states in America. That ain’t responsibility. That’s political hypocrisy. @the_jefferymead I didn’t tag you because I never took the time to find more of your tired message. I screen recorded the BS, recorded and moved on. You talk slow and calm but Jeff explain the following. Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama stay at the bottom of damn near every ranking — education, healthcare, poverty, infrastructure — and all three are run by Republicans. So if “personal responsibility” fixes everything, why hasn’t your party fixed the states it controls? You folks are quick to call Black people lazy or unaccountable, but never mention the governors, legislatures, and school boards that have been red for decades. If leadership matters, let’s talk about the leaders. You can’t brag about being the party of family values while your families are dying younger, learning less, and living poorer. That’s not accountability — that’s bad governance dressed up as moral superiority. Stop blaming Black folks for the mess your party made. The data doesn’t lie — conservatives states fail the hardest and shout the loudest. That not responsibility. That’s political hypocrisy.

Fat jokes is the latest from @SenJohnKennedy. I’m working on me John, I’m dropping weight & we will drop Senator from your name in just a few weeks. The makeup was a bit much in the last ad, I might be big but I’m young and handsome. Two things you wish you could say.

Men lie, women lie, numbers don’t lie. I need Black voters in Louisiana to know these numbers. The only way we do that is you sharing and helping us. Will you RT this to help us amplify and move the vote in Louisiana?

Black people and a New Southern Strategy are the way forward. Democrats keep chasing the dream that they can convince the majority of white America to consider all Americans—but consistently, the majority shows you where they stand. Considering that, we as Black people and those who truly focus on a society for all should push for a base-focused approach. Just look at two races from last night. Instead of spending $166 million in Texas and $50 million in Ohio on losses, investing $90 million each in states like Louisiana (33% Black) and Mississippi (37% Black) could mean victory. The proof is in Georgia’s win. Louisiana had a Democrat as governor for 8 years, but Democrats invested almost nothing in the state over the last decade. If we want real change, we need to invest where our voices matter most. I have a lot of feelings. I’ll unpack those another day, I might say too much right now. I just want those who are actually asking what next to understand, we have power to do something. Senate races in multiple southern states are in 2 years. Move the conversation toward our power not just the problem. #KeepPushing #CivicsForThePeople #NewSouthernStrategy #BlackVoterPower #BaseFocusedApproach

I’m running for the U.S. Senate. Louisiana has been last long enough, it’s time for new leadership in Washington D.C. that will prioritize working class people. Join me on this journey for change. When we come together anything is possible. #MoreOfUs ChambersforLouisiana.com

I’m going to list how many Black voters we have in different parishes around the state vs how many Black voters showed up to early vote. E. Baton Rouge 129k - 12,520 Orleans 145k - 16,443 Caddo 73k - 6,955 Jefferson 73k - 6,428 Lafayette 37k - 2,751 Ouachita 37k - 2,928

This is what we want to see from Black leadership in law enforcement. People asked me why do I want Murphy to stay until his retirement in November and finish the job. This is why, because he already fired 14, made another 8 quit, and he forgot how many retired because change showed up. Make no mistake, Chief Paul and I have had heated disagreements about the police, but when he finds that a cop has violated the trust of the public and the law he deals with it. If you’re Black and think he did too much, then you don’t really understand our enemy. We will never truly fix things if we pretend these aggressions and actions aren’t happening. I believe we will see more arrest and charges. This is why when he was hired we as advocates wanted him, because he was from OUTSIDE of BRPD, he could see them clearly. You hear Councilman Moak address me because I don’t sit silent and let white leaders disrespect Black leadership. Or tell us what we need to fix an issue impacting us. Thank you for speaking the truth Chief Paul. #CivicsForThePeople

Law & Order they said. Protest peacefully they said. Trust the process they said. We have a legal system they said. Then they lost elections, and stormed the United States Capital Building. If they were Black they’d be called thugs & criminals by now or be getting shot.

Let me say this. Convicting #DerekChauvin is just the beginning. It should never have taken a nearly 10 minute video, millions protesting around the globe for us to convict a murdering cop. Until today is the norm in our legal system, we will push this government to change.

As Black People most of us live our dreams in spite of America, not because of America. Let us work to build a nation that truly gives liberty and justice for all.

You can remove Trump or he can stay until January 20th. You can remove him from social media. His ideology is American, because white supremacy was in the fabric of the founding documents of this nation. Trump is & always has been an example of what is beneath the surface.

Big Freedia x Gary Chambers = a win for the people! Today is the first day of Early voting, get to the polls and vote for #6 on the ballot. Do Good and Seek Justice, #LetsGoHigher. Thank you for your support @bigfreedia, we appreciate you!

Thank you to each individual who believed in this campaign. Thank you to every person who gave their resources, time, and positive energy in our direction. Last night we came 1500 votes short of knocking out a sitting state Senator that’s been elected 20 years.

Last I checked since 8.5.85 I’ve been Black. I’m the lead polling Democrat in the 2nd Blackest state in America. This is why we make our own noise. @nytimes in case you didn’t know, I’m Black and running for the U.S. Senate #Moreofus

Shoutout to @starvostheartist. Thank you for this powerful art. TOGETHER, we will burn what remains of the confederacy from the policies of this nation. #ChangeIsComing #MoreOfUs

Black voter turnout in Louisiana is down 26% as of this morning. In 2020, over 290,000 Black voters showed up to vote early. We are currently averaging 20,000 a day. Which means we need 78,000 Black people to vote early today to change this. The local news isn’t talking about it because they don’t want Back voters in Louisiana to go vote. The party in the state is too busy showcasing the elected officials. The elected officials are doing whatever they do, and the voters are at home, the game, the club, the festival, the second line. The people are at all the things, but the polls. Text 10 people and tell them, I know 8 in here didn’t go vote. I need that I voted sticker picture in the group chat by 6:30p. Even if you text yesterday, do it again. Be that annoying person because our tax dollars funding this government. We get a say in who leads it, when we don’t participate that’s why we don’t get funded. I’m doing my part, will you do yours? Share and let’s run em up.

I’ve tried to mind my business, but when Black peoples are being terrorized in my city, that’s my business. Tonight I went before the city council here in Baton Rouge to express my grievances against the government. Not everybody like when you speak the truth plainly, but I have learned that the truth stands against opinions and lies. So tell it. If what happened in the Brave Cave in Baton Rouge had happened to white women and men people would be in jail already. I have put a demand on the leaders I’ve gone out and asked people to support on this very platform. So I won’t be a hypocrite, I will challenge them the same way I did their predecessor when injustice was done to Black people. Advocacy is about consistency. It’s about moving the conversation even if it makes everyone uncomfortable. Too many of us care more about decorum than we do injustice. I have never and will never cease to speak truth to power. I’m going to always rise to speak for my people, especially when the leaders we’ve elected have been so silent. Arrest the cops, that’s what justice looks like. #WorkToDo #KeepPushing #RisingAlways

This is Officer Jeromy Sanford of the Lafayette Louisiana Police Department. Last night he brutally beat a 16 year old outside a business. Mayor @JoshGuilloryUSA he needs to be fired and then charged.

We have to start calling out the fact that some of the people yappin’ on the internet are politically dumb. They believe narratives instead of following the funding. When you make up half the city but only get 5% of an $850 million plan — that’s not bad budgeting, that’s robbery with a smile. Run us our money. Taxation without representation is still theft. While Trump is pissing away millions sending troops into cities, that same money could fund early childhood education and after-school programs that actually prevent crime. In some cities he’s blowing $1 million a day that could be building community centers and mental-health facilities. The problem is never the money — it’s who decides where the money goes. The longer a city stays inequitable, the more crime rises and the quality of life for everyone declines. Sometimes, you just have to call people what they are — jackasses. 🤷🏾‍♂️

The majority white council in Baton Rouge is attempting to remove a Black woman who chairs the Library Board with a less qualified white male. She has an MBA and parliamentary training, has led the library board well. Truth is, y’all listening to entertainers while folks playing with your tax dollars. The people doing this live in your city, and if enough of you show up you can evict them from office. Every member of the council but one is up for re-election this year. Send them an email and let them know we are watching what they do in 2 weeks. Let them know people around the country see their racist ways on display. Their mouths say one thing, their votes and actions speak their truth. MetroCouncilMembers@brla.gov MetropolitanCouncilAides@brla.gov And for those in other places, understand that boards and commissions have power to impact your life. Not voting means letting other people decide who from the community serves on the board or commission. Do your part so the quality of life in the community can change. Show up… #KeepPushing #AlwaysRising

Last night didn’t fall how we wanted it to, but I am still optimistic about the future. What we did can’t just be measured by the outcome alone. The @lademos chair actively worked against having a single endorsed candidate. (1/5)

To every Black voter in Louisiana, who doubts politics, I’m asking you to give me a chance to show you different. We have until 8p to show up. I know you had to work. I need you. Text your friends and family I need y’all! They say y’all won’t got vote. Prove em wrong!

It’s 4/20 so let me run this back. America is still jailing people for cannabis use, it’s immoral, wrong, and dumb. We need to end cannabis prohibition in this country and right the wrongs. I’m running for the U.S. Senate with justice and equity on my agenda. #MoreOfUs

Update: 162,000 Black voters have now gone to vote in Louisiana out of 942,000. There are now 779,529Black people in Louisiana remaining that can early vote. Do your civic engagement today Louisiana go vote and encourage 10 other people to go vote today. You have until 6p today. The higher the numbers go the better our ability to flip this state

In December, they said we had no chance at all. Three weeks ago, they polled us at 6%. We got the phone calls, we heard the chatter, we just kept pushing. Head down and working hard to connect with THE PEOPLE.

There are hundreds of white people on Twitter upset that I spend my money with Black businesses. I don’t care. We’ve got to stop letting people gaslight us into thinking racism isn’t real or that group economics isn’t necessary for Black progress. Right now, Black unemployment is up to 7.2%. For Black women, it’s risen from 5.5% to 6.3% since last year. If we’re serious about confronting discrimination, we have to be intentional about supporting each other. That’s not racist — that’s wisdom. There are always a few Black folks who choose to serve white supremacy. Darrell Glasper is one of them. If you call a Black man a “cancer” for standing up for his people, you’re not just out of line — you’re a tool of the very system we’re fighting. We have to call that out as boldly as they attack us. I’m a free Black man, and I act like it. My doctors? Black. Landscaper? Black. HVAC tech? Black. Electrician? Black. Esthetician? Black. Lawyers, tailor, publicist, business manager, print shop, mechanic — all Black. When I host events, I choose Black venues. Because the Black dollar has to build Black economic power. If you’re white in America, you don’t have to try to buy white — it’s the default. So don’t be offended when Black people choose to be intentional about building our own economic future. It’s cool when you do it, it’s a problem when we do it… yall know the rest…

Update: 125,560 Black people in Louisiana have gone to vote. These numbers are down from 2020. We now have 816,440 Black people who can got vote between now and Saturday. Again you all in the last 24 hours by the thousands shared the last post. Let’s get active by tagging people and directly asking them do they plan to early vote. Text the video and ask them if they will go tomorrow. We can collectively run the numbers up. We live in a time where digital civic engagement is possible if we are strategic. I’m not talking just to talk, I’m telling you we can do something everyday until the last day to vote on November 5th. They win, because we think we can’t do anything. We can. So let’s do something. There are 800,000 Black people in Louisiana remaining to vote. If we can do better we can fight to get funding to win our own statewide races.

I’m not new at this, I’m true at fighting for THE PEOPLE. I’ve been arrested for fighting for the people. I’ve been talked about, lied on, lied to, and everything in between. I kept showing up. We kept making change happen. (Read both tweets) Share and help us spread the word.

Far too often as a Black man in America the way I find out about a man’s life is because of his death. Tonight many of us will discover the details of the death of Tyre Nichols. It’s shameful that this is still a reality in America.

Update: 142,000 Black people out of 942,000 Black voters in Louisiana have early voted. Saturday is the last Saturday to early vote in Louisiana. There is no early voting on Sunday. This was done away with to prevent Black churches from doing Soul’s to the Polls after Sunday worship. So Saturday is the only weekend day given in Louisiana. Text 10 people, dm it to your friends, family, and your ex. It’s that important.

I received a call tonight from Louisiana Democratic Party Chair Katie Bernardt to inform us that we’ve received an endorsement from the state party. As an outside candidate pushing against the grain this is big. It says that our #PeoplePowered campaign is picking up momentum.

I just want to see the hard numbers. It’s clear Black men, more than any other group of men, showed up and did our part. And I think it’s important to get the record straight. People say a lot about Black men online, but I haven’t seen much discussion breaking down how Black men voted by age. One thing MOST Black men do well is recognize a threat. The numbers show that, even when we don’t agree with every policy the Dems put forward, we know which side poses a threat to everything we’ve fought for in this country—and we voted accordingly. It’s crucial to highlight the high numbers, because when we focus too much on the lower numbers, we’re feeding a narrative that divides us. Black people, remember: we’re most powerful when we refuse to let others—or ourselves—divide us.

The U.S. Supreme Court has placed women in danger. There is nothing “pro-life” about restricting women’s rights. “A Real Life American Horror Story”, ad #4.

Congressman @byrondonalds attempted to say that Donald Trump was responsible for PPP loans, but the bill came from the Democratic led congress. The congressman attempted to cut me off when, and talk in circles. I had to make the point simple, like School House Rock. Bills start in the legislature, presidents sign the bills given to them by the legislature. To try and paint any other picture is being dishonest. I don’t believe in letting people slide when they aren’t telling the truth. Especially Black men trying to convince Black people to do something against their interest. Bless his heart, he tried to give word salad, but in the end he admitted bills start in the legislature. @tezlynfigaro brought together a conversation I believe that painted a clear contrast. #AlwaysRising #GoSeason #KeepPushing #RevoltWorld

.@JamesCarville sounds a lot like old school Dixiecrats in Louisiana. People like Carville only support Black candidates when there is no “viable” white option. They also call you names when their arguments against you are weak.

#HowardShultz just said he doesn’t see color. This is the problem in America. Blacks have historically been treated less than human in America, because of our color. So we need you to see it and recognize our issues and change it, if you want to be POTUS. Horrible answer.

I’ve spent the last year of my life pushing for today to be a day of change in Louisiana. Thank you for everything you’ve done up until now, truly. It’s Election Day. Polls close at 8p. Go vote, and text 10 people to do the same. Let’s get it done! I love y’all. #MoreOfUs

Today we officially qualified for the race to be the next Congressman for Louisiana’s 2nd congressional district. A big day, for a big future for US ALL. Chip in today and help us win this thing. We have 59 days until Election Day. Let’s go to work!

Last night, led by strong Black early vote turnout, the working-class people of Louisiana reminded the political establishment who this state really belongs to. All four constitutional amendments — written to benefit those in the back room, not the living room — have failed. And they didn’t fail because of money or power. They failed because the people got organized. Over the past few weeks, I joined the Power Coalition for Equity and Justice on a statewide education tour. We showed up in North Louisiana, South Louisiana, and everywhere in between, having real conversations with real people about what these amendments would mean for their lives. We told the truth — and the people responded. This was a movement powered by everyday folks who understood that giving more power to judges, limiting local control, and criminalizing more children wasn’t the direction we needed to go. In Orleans Parish, voters rejected each amendment by over 89%. In East Baton Rouge, turnout hit over 72,000 voters — nearly triple what some expected — and more than 70% of voters said ‘NO’ to every amendment. In Caddo Parish, over 60% of voters said no. These margins weren’t close — this was a political beatdown. What we saw tonight wasn’t just a vote — it was a declaration. Communities across this state are tired of being overlooked. And when they are educated and engaged, they show up with power. This is what happens when you put truth in the hands of the people — they use it to shut down bad policy. Let this be a message to the Democratic Party: Louisiana is not a red state — it’s an underfunded state. When the resources are balanced and the people are empowered, we get the kind of results we saw tonight. The new blue wall is in the Deep South — where the Black vote has the most power. — Gary Chambers

I support reparations. Why? The government has literally helped aid white families in America for decades. From allowing Black people to be owned as property, to redlining. If this country allowed it, this country has an obligation to right those wrongs.

Byron Donalds says “No American is making $7.25 and hour.”Republicans all over America like Donalds and Donald Trump don’t believe we should raise the federal minimum wage. I disagree. When we talk about who to vote for, listen to the logic in their policy making. The market, meaning your bosses will determine the wage. Even if your kid works a part time job, they should earn more than $7.25 an hour. Too many people are voting on talking points and not policy. Republicans like Donalds talk a good game, but poor people do worse under their policies in the long term. Examples are Louisiana and Mississippi. Our states are behind because conservative policies run us into the ground. Numbers don’t lie… I’m going to always push for working class people to get what they deserve. They will leave it to the market… remember that as you vote. Byron Donalds cares that your boss makes more money, I care that everybody makes more… That’s the difference. Click the link in my bio to watch the full debate on @revolttv for @revoltnews with host @tezlynfigaro. #KeepPushing #Wages

We need equal pay for equal work. Protect a woman’s right to choose. Raise the minimum wage. Not a U.S. Senator like Kennedy dropping one liners about drinking weed killer. Join us to beat John Kennedy. He’s raised $15 million talking like this. ChambersforLouisiana.com

The vast majomajority of Black men in America held down Vice President Harris. Now I know any time I defend Black men it’s going to create friction because some people want to highlight everything they don’t like about Black men. I think there are Black men pleading with Democrats to stop diminishing the role of Black men. There are Black men saying we have specific policies we want to see. There are Black men saying before we give support we want conversation. When those men are ignored, some of them choose to rebel. You can ignore what I’m saying, but I’m a man who talks to brothers every day. If we are going to build a path forward, it’s going to be rooted in Black people men and women having equitable footing. That’s how we collectively improve our quality of life. There are men who struggle with women in leadership, but the vast majority of Black men showed twice now that we don’t. We simply don’t want to be diminished while we do it. The majority of Black men will always stand with Black women, the same way Black women have always stood with us. The more we highlight that, the stronger it becomes. They want to divide us, and the more we feed that, the more it works. Numbers don’t lie, most Black men know what is at stake and act accordingly.

In case you missed it, last night our ‘37 Seconds’ was featured on @colbertlateshow last night. I’ll be on @cnn @NewDay here at 8:30am ET. Tune in!

For the record, my Jesus had skin like bronze. Black. Hair like wool. Black. The government killed Him and He was unarmed. Black. But they couldn’t stop Him from shaking the foundation of the world. Black! Let the record be clear, my Jesus is Black.

We need to call a thing what it is. Black tax dollars are fueling an economy that too often leaves Black people out. In an all-Black neighborhood, not one Black face on the crew fixing the roads we paid for. That’s not a coincidence—it’s a system. This is taxation without representation. It’s time for Black elected officials to hold the line: no more contracts without Black representation. Until there’s equity in who gets the work and who benefits from our tax dollars, we must use every bit of our power to shift resources toward our people. In a state that’s 34% Black, a parish that’s 48% Black, and a city that’s 56% Black, it is unacceptable for public dollars to keep flowing to companies that shut Black workers out. We can’t force them to hire us—but our leaders don’t have to keep voting to fund them either. And every time somebody brings up crime in our communities, I’m going to bring up jobs. We fund the building of white wealth every day while being told to “fix our own problems.” That’s not just wrong—it’s corporate welfare. You take money from one community, invest it in another, and then blame the first for the outcomes. If you want to fix crime, start by funding our businesses, hiring our people, and treating our communities like they are equal in investment. Stop asking us to fix the symptoms while you keep feeding the disease.

Danny Buckley was killed in the parking lot of Trader Joe’s here in Baton Rouge on August 22nd. Mr. Buckley was a 62 year old Black male. He was killed by 24 year old Jace Boyd, a white male. Baton Rouge Police let Boyd go home.

Reparations isn’t a complicated subject. Either slavery was wrong, or it wasn’t. If it was wrong, & the government allowed it, benefited from it, the gov has an obligation to repair the damage & account for the losses of the enslaved & their descendants. Justice requires it.

I’m going to keep showing you the impact of not voting. Last week @govjefflandry said Louisiana will reject $71 million in federal funding to feed kids in the summer. Today he posted on Instagram that he wants the Feds to give Louisiana money for crawfish farmers. Feeding the kids, he says no we don’t need money for that. Crawfish farmers, save us Federal Government we need your help! Our state ranks #50 in the nation because common at its core racism prevails. The majority of crawfish farmers in Louisiana are white business owners. The majority of centers that feed kids in the food program are in the inner city and feed poor Black and brown kids. Don’t ever miss how they will fund business and deny you. This is just another example of how elections have consequences. You can’t make this stuff up, the man said don’t feed the kids, we need money for crawfish though…. 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️😂😂. You have to laugh to keep from crying. I’m going to keep telling you… elections have consequences.

They said Collin Kaepernick was tripping 4 years ago. Look at where things are now. We knew he was right all along. Our ancestors are proud today. Men and women stood for something bigger than a paycheck today. For Justice. For liberation. For equity. For ALL PEOPLE.

When is the last time you saw someone who ran for Congress roll up? We’ve allowed smoking cannabis to be stigmatized for far too long. I debated with myself if we would do this video to launch our YouTube series. (piped.video/5dnxl8UBD5o)

The question becomes, not what to do with Trump. There are Trumps at every layer of government, nationally & locally. The question is when do we get serious about ending the systems of white supremacy? The time is now. #KeepPushing #ChangeisComing

New Orleans, you made all of Louisiana proud! One of the Blackest cities in America hosted two Black QBs. The Blackest city won. The halftime show? Black AF. The opening acts? Black. Featuring Southern University’s Human Jukebox, repping the only HBCU system in America. All in front of the Anti-DEI President & our wack Governor, in the second Blackest state in America. Maya Angelou said it best: “But still, like dust, I’ll rise.” Fly Eagles Fly.

Calcasieu 31k - 2,260 St. Landry 25k - 3,038 St. Tammany 22k - 24,09 Tangipahoa 21k - 1,541 That means for every 10 Black people you see this weekend, only 1 of them voted. There are 942,000 registered Black voters in Louisiana. If you want change share this & let’s move them.

Black people, don’t let these times steal your joy. We are enduring. We are survivors. We will survive this fight as our ancestors pressed through theirs. Better days are coming, but keep your joy even through the pain. They can’t break us, they never have & never will.

Kyren Lacey’s story is a tragedy. I don’t have all the right words for what his loved ones must be feeling right now. But I do know this: life can get so heavy that giving up feels like the only way out. I hope you don’t. I hope you #KeepPushing, even when the darkness feels like it won’t lift. Suicide has touched my life from the very beginning. I was just two months old when my mother, Sharon, took her life. I attempted suicide at 18. And again at 26. I haven’t always talked about it — not because I’m ashamed, but because people joke about things on the internet for a giggle and it’s your life. And some pain is too deep to make room for that kind of ignorance. But today, I’m telling the truth out loud: your life is worth living. Even in your lowest moment, you’re not alone. You’re not the only one who’s ever felt like this. And you don’t have to stay in that place. Talk to somebody. You still have purpose. You still have time. You are needed in this world.

A #NewBlackSouth That should trend. It should be a discussion at every Black dinner table in America. We could literally take over an entire region of this country and work the rules in our favor. We don’t have to beg white people, we just need to build our POWER.

‘Stuck in the Middle’ our third campaign ad. I believe gun safety is about public safety. Back ground checks, safe gun storage, and raising the age benefit us all. I’m running for the U.S. Senate so our parents can make it home from the store & our children from school.

Today it was disappointing to witness @essence and @essencefest file documents to shut down an event put on by Black business owners. The business owners @tamikanewhouse, @kimberlylatricejones, and the New Orleans book store @baldwinandcompany lost money and their time. @jpmorrell the President of the City Council in New Orleans issued a statement to make sure it’s clear that it was never the intent of the ordinance Essence attempted to use to harm private owned businesses and events from operating. For me, it does no good to say we are going to celebrate Black culture while harming Black businesses in the city you’re coming to do business. I was a speaker this morning who arrived and found out Essence did this, and watched the impact. I’m sharing this because this is my state and these are my people. If Essence is for THE CULTURE, the people who make up that CULTURE should be able to reap from the harvest. It is my hope that leadership will show the excellence we see in presentation in all aspects concerning our people. (Saw a lot of discussion about Essence ownership, it’s #BlackOwned again)

John Kennedy sent an email to his donors saying, “We cannot have another woke activist in the U.S. Senate.” Well, he’s been sleeping on Louisiana not delivering for the people. Chip in so we can run the numbers up on @SenJohnKennedy. ChambersforLouisiana.com

I smoked a blunt so I could kick these facts about Louisiana to the nation. Our state ranks #50 in crime and #49 in opportunity. We need new leaders who address the issues not play silly games. Join our movement, we can smoke Kennedy out if you chip in. ChambersforLouisiana.com

We rank #50 in the nation. #48 in education #46 in healthcare #47 in opportunity #50 in crime While Mr. Call a Crackhead @SenJohnKennedy collects a government check while doing nothing to make Louisiana better. We can force a runoff if Black voters show up in masses.

Sen. Carter won’t debate me, he’s pulled out of debates I’m in. Ever since he compared me to an orderly. Sen. Carter won’t debate me after my response to him. He dropped these fake poll numbers, and he’s been ducking me, pull up Troy!

We lit the Confederate flag on fire because we need to burn the remnants of the Confederacy from every piece of legislation that it remains in, in this country. Thank you @JoyAnnReid for having me on @thereidout.

Do YOUR Part. That’s the message of the day. We have 900,000 registered Black voters. On the first day of early voting only 21,000 Black people went to vote in the entire state. Only 90 people between the ages of 18-20 went to vote that were Black. Southern university has over 8,000 students, Grambling has over 4,000. Homecoming is on Oct 14th for both schools, that’s also Election Day. So voting early matters because we know you’re not missing the festivities. Let’s just keep it a buck. Do your part. People always want the advocates and activist to do the work, but our work becomes easier when we elect the right people. @wilsonforla is a Black man w a PHD, he will make a great governor. He can’t get there with these numbers. Do your part. I sacrifice time from my family to fight for all our families. I get blocked out of contract opportunities because I fight like I do. That’s the sacrifice we make to try and advance US as a collective. So I’m asking you to Do YOUR Part! Go early vote today. You have until Saturday to get it done. Share and get your people to go vote. #AlwaysRising

If America didn’t work so hard to deny Black folks the right to vote, these elections wouldn’t even be close. If we get serious in the south about building Black and marginalized voting power, we can flip the south. Pay attention @staceyabrams has had us all in class.

Lt. Gov. of Texas Dan Patrick just cut a $1 million check to Turning Point USA to plant their message in schools across Texas. They don’t hide their agenda — they finance it. They’re investing in the next generation of hate, while we debate how bold we can sound. They aren’t just passionate, they are funded! @tezlynfigaro has been pushing Push The Line for years. Phillip Agnew helped lead Black Men Build. I lead Civics for the People. They’re openly telling you how they run the play — and folks still tone policing us in 2025. People cappin’ for moderates in this climate is nuts. The “moderates” only won because they shifted their message to working-class voters. Meanwhile, the organizers who actually move working-class people outside the institutions still can’t scale. Since 2012, Turning Point has raised and spent over $300 million spreading this kind of propaganda — while the so-called “good side” is still trying to figure out what to do. Fund the fighters. Because some of y’all don’t like to fight — and the rest won’t admit you’re not the best fighters in this climate. It’s not rocket science. This is where we are, but it doesn’t have to stay this way. How fast things turn around depends on how ready our side is to fund the fight. And notice — they didn’t let Tuesday’s elections slow them down. They dropped more money this same week. They saw it as a lost battle, not a lost war. Your enemies are funding their agenda. Are you?

For all the people who like to Brunch but don’t like to vote, let me show you how government can impact the quality of your life. A Baton Rouge city council woman has been working with residents of a neighborhood to shut down a Black owned business @boilandrouxbr. They took them to court after calling the police repeatedly antagonizing the business owners. The judge threw out their case. They lost. Meaning the judge found them not to be violating the law. That wasn’t good enough, now they started weaponizing the government against them. Using a lawyer for the city (Lost his job today because of this) to do the dirty work. Every election matters, because these people appoint and hire the people who work for the city. They appoint the members of the ABC board, which controls sell of alcohol. So when you ask why we don’t have more qualify Black eateries or venues, add up the legal fees fighting to stay open. Recognize that Denise represents a district that Black voters make up a large enough block to put her out of office. But y’all don’t vote… this was your Civics for the People session for the day. #AlwaysRising #KeepPushing

Vice President @KamalaHarris gave Louisiana voters a shoutout while speaking with organizers in Wisconsin on Monday night. Highlighting the power in our Black turnout on Saturday. Make no mistake—Louisiana voters sent a powerful message to @GovJeffLandry. Black and white working-class voters came together and said NO on all four amendments. This moment should be a wake-up call for the national party and national donors: it’s time to take Louisiana seriously. It’s time to invest in building a new battleground state—here in the Deep South. The People made it clear they want policy that improves lives. They made it clear they don’t want to see our kids over-incarcerated. Communities mobilized—online and on the ground—to move others to action. And together, The People defeated Jeff Landry’s Big Business and Pro Jail agenda. The People have the power. Now let’s build on this momentum and expand what’s possible for the people of Louisiana. The South has something to say.

People hate the phrase defund the police. Yet we defund education and healthcare almost every year. I live in a parish with 11 different police agencies, in the 2nd most incarcerated place in THE WORLD. It hasn’t solved crime. Move the money. It’s not making us safer.

I spoke to a group of high school seniors at McKinley High School today, only 2 of them knew that a Black man served as governor of Louisiana named P.B.S. Pinchback. Yet they all knew the name Robert E. Lee. That is the lie of America, to teach our children a version…

Every step of the way I’ve had people tell me to be someone different. I’ve always resisted it, even when sometimes I wondered if others were right, that I needed to be different to advance or be successful. I realized I am different and different is okay.

A man goes in a grocery store & shoots 11 Black people & 2 white people. He kills 10 in total. He records it. He writes the N-word on his gun. He writes a manifesto making it clear he’s a white supremacist. He’s 18 & white. America still producing racist bigots everyday.

Black voters, we need to recognize our power to change the direction of Louisiana. John Kennedy still didn’t get more votes than the amount of registered Black voters. There are 942k registered Black voters alone in Louisiana, he got 850k votes. Too many of us opted out. (3/5)

There is no such thing as a Blue life. That’s the problem. We’ve elevated a profession to the same place as a race of people. Policing is a profession, that lacks accountability. It’s a job. We can’t take off our skin when we get home at night.

I’m not running for a title. I’m running because he is beatable & we shouldn’t let cowards like him disrespect us & not challenge them. He’s spent $15 million & is polling at 51% help us retire him. I’m watching the numbers to see if you share. Let’s get it done! #MoreOfUs
