The All Souls “Pledge to Vote” potluck is happening this Sunday (22 September 2024) immediately after the 11:00 AM worship service.

Bring a dish to share (or just show up – we usually have plenty at our potluck lunches) and join us as we kick off Together Louisiana’s statewide Pledge to Vote campaign at All Souls.

Pledge to Vote is a person-to-person voter mobilization effort that has proven to increase voter turnout by up to 54%, with particular success increasing participation among so-called “casual voters.”

We do realize that most All Souls members are anything but “casual” about voting.  You may be thinking “I vote every time — why do I need to take the pledge?”

By taking the pledge and then following through and voting, you become part of a large and broad coalition of active voters who can let our elected leaders know that we are paying attention and we vote.

You are welcome to take the pledge ahead of time online or bring a dish this Sunday and share a meal with us to learn more and take the pledge together.

Please join us for the ribbon cutting ceremony for Northwest Louisiana’s first Community Lighthouse:

• Date — Sunday, 29 September 2024
• Time — 1:30 PM – 2:15 PM
• Location — 5340 Jewella Avenue, Shreveport LA  71109

It’s been a long road to get here but we are overjoyed to announce the ribbon cutting of our first Community Lighthouse here in Northwest Louisiana.

Community Lighthouse is a network of community establishments equipped with commercial scale solar power and backup water supply, designed to act as a neighborhood response center during power outages and emergencies.

The Pledge to Vote 2024 Statewide Kickoff is happening on 16 September 2024 at 6:00 PM via Zoom.

Pledge to Vote is a non-partisan statewide effort to rebuild a culture of voting in Louisiana through the strength of our institutions.

It is a strategy that has already proven to close the turnout gap at the local level and we want to see increased turnout across the state.

Pledge to Vote also features a healthy competition between participating institutions — although All Souls might not place first in the number of voters — we think we could excel in percentage of our members taking the pledge and voting.

Please join us by registering and attending the Zoom meeting on 16 September 2024.
