Indivisible North La. and 10,000 Women La. host empty chair town hall

SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS)—Two organizations, Indivisible North Louisiana and 10,000 Women Louisiana, collaborated to host an empty chair town hall at Grace Community Methodist Church.

Organizers left empty chairs because they say congressional representatives were invited but did not attend.

“Our elected officials used to all do town hall meetings regularly, and people would be able to personally ask them questions or share their opinions,” said Betsy Levels of Indivisible. “We organized empty chair town halls. They are invited to be here, and if they do not choose to be, we’re going to voice our concerns anyway and be sure that in writing and video our elected officials will see them.”

Speakers discussed their concerns over many topics, such as immigration, possible Medicaid cuts, and possible research funding cuts, and their concern that Congress is not working for the people.

Organizers say other events are being planned.
