The judge for 1st City Court rules on New Orleans' small civil claims, including landlord and tenant disputes. They hold a lot of power, including the decision of whether someone is housing-secure or houseless. But on August 15, this important seat is up for election--we the voters now hold the power to decide which of the two candidates will uphold our values!

Join us for a candidate forum with New Orleans' two runoff candidates for 1st City Court, Marissa A. Hutabarat and Sara Lewis. We'll be asking crucial questions about their views on different justice issues they'll encounter in their potential role. Watch the forum this Friday at 4pm CT, either on VOTE's Facebook live, or on Zoom with this link: bit.ly/EvictionJudge
