TAKE ACTION: Tell Your Story. Stop Medical Coercion.

Rep. Jay Gallé's Louisiana Medical Freedom Act (HB1041) will be before the House Health & Welfare Committee on Wednesday, April 15th—and your story is needed.

This bill protects the fundamental right to make medical decisions free from coercion, pressure, or punishment—ensuring that no one can be forced to take a medical intervention.

Why Your Voice Matters

This bill affirms: No one—and no government—has the right to mandate a medical intervention.

But legislators need real stories.

They need to hear:

• How mandates affected your family
• How coercion affected your job, education, or healthcare
• What you experienced during the COVID era

The Reality of Medical Coercion

We cannot ignore what happened:

• Healthcare workers were threatened, suspended, or terminated
• Patients were pressured or denied care
• Individuals were forced to choose between their job and their beliefs
• More importantly, people died because they were coerced without voluntary informed consent. 

These policies were egregious and caused real harm—to individuals, families, and society as a whole.
