Congressman Troy A. Carter Joins Thousands in “Hands Off” Mobilization in Louisiana’s Second Congressional District

New Orleans, LA - Today, Congressman Troy A. Carter proudly stood with more than 2,000 residents of Louisiana's Second Congressional District as part of the national Hands Off mobilization-an inspiring, peaceful demonstration led by a coalition of passionate community organizations committed to protecting democracy, civil rights, and the rule of law.

"I was honored to stand among so many engaged, courageous citizens and to lend my voice to this powerful call for justice and accountability," said Congressman Carter. "This movement was led by incredible grassroots organizations, and I was proud to be one of the speakers amplifying the voices of the people."

The Hands Off mobilization, which took place simultaneously in cities across the country, was a response to rising concerns about attacks on American democracy, the judiciary, and fundamental freedoms.

"The people have spoken-loudly and clearly," Congressman Carter continued. "We will not allow an unelected billionaire and an out-of-touch president to tear down what generations have worked so hard to build. This is our democracy, and we're going to fight for it. Peacefully. Powerfully. Together."

Congressman Carter reaffirmed his commitment to standing with the people of Louisiana and the nation to defend democratic values and ensure that liberty, justice, and opportunity remain within reach for all.
