“We appeal to the students, faculty, staff, & alumni of Xavier, Dillard & our sister institutions to consider participating in this trial or others being conducted.” @xulapres & @HipHopPrez ask the Xavier & Dillard Communities to particulate in @OchsnerHealth vaccine trials.(1/2)

Sending all our love to our neighbors & friends across Louisiana who suffered damages from #HurricaneLaura. With so many businesses and families already struggling due to #COVID19, they will need extra help to get back on their feet.

Thank you New Orleans. We made enough tonight to pay close to 4 months of insurance for the staff we have left. We are humbled by the response we experienced.

The daily average of new #COVID19 cases in #NOLA has doubled over the last two weeks, and our businesses continue to suffer as a result.
If you love our city, and are ready to get back to normal, please continue to #MaskUp and do your part to fight further community spread 😷

"I would be prioritizing opening the schools. I would do what it takes from a policy standpoint to ... open the schools," says @ScottGottliebMD. "If you can't get children back into schools you really can't restart the economy in a robust fashion."

As @CityOfNOLA continues to slowly and safely reopen during #Phase2, please remember to support these local #smallbusinesses. Our economy, and our city, depend on them!

That’s why my SMART Fund is needed to help restore these essential services.

Louisiana will lose 42% of its tax revenue because of coronavirus. This will result in mass layoffs of police, fire, sanitation workers & teachers without support from the federal govt. We need these services if we are to fully reopen the economy.

Loving the bipartisan conversations we're having with Louisiana elected officials about the needs of higher education. Yesterday we spoke with @RepRichmond and today @BillCassidy - both have consistently supported higher ed and @du1869 specifically. #Thanks

I’ve always believed real leadership means having the guts and strength to stand up and fight for what’s right, even if it means taking heat from some in your own party.
We don’t see it often enough in Washington. This is what it looks like.
Thank you, @SenBillCassidy.
Yes, Congress should send money to state and local governments, @SenBillCassidy writes in an op-ed: wapo.st/3d9ETFE

We may be facing unique challenges this #EDW, but we're also leading the way for a safe path forward - and that's something worth sharing. So let's spread the word.
