This Week at The Broad: Now is the Time for Heroes

By |

Sponsored by
We are less than 48 hours away from Thanksgiving here at The Broad and it is time to unleash the big guns, two gloriously crowd pleasing films that pair perfectly with Mom’s stuffing and Uncle Marc’s questionable takes on the midterms.



CREED II is the sequel to one of the most unexpectedly classic films of the decade. We didn’t know then in 2015 that director Ryan Coogler would take over the world with Black Panther when he resurrected the Rocky franchise and placed it into the hands of Michael B. Jordan. Handing things off to new director Steven Caple Jr., this film is both a sequel to Creed and the immortal ’80s classic Rocky IV. Come for Adonis Creed, but stay to find out what happened to Ivan Drago and his family. RALPH BREAKS THE INTERNET continues the story of Ralph and his friend Vanellope von Schweetz as they enter the World Wide Web in search of a replacement part to fix Vanellope’s arcade machine.

Candidate’s Message from Omar K. Mason: New Orleans Deserves Experience On The Bench

By |

Omar K. Mason, Candidate for Civil District Court Judge

Every six years, the citizens in New Orleans are faced with a critical question – who deserves to be elected judge of Civil District Court? Unfortunately, due to the untimely death of Judge Clare Jupiter, the voters of Orleans Parish must answer this important question earlier than expected. As the legal community mourns the passing of a terrific colleague, friend, and judge, the citizens of Orleans Parish are reminded of the significance of who will be granted the opportunity to serve our community for the remaining two years of Judge Jupiter’s term. It is with great humility, enthusiasm, and preparedness that I ask the people of New Orleans for their vote to serve our community as the next Judge of Civil District Court, Division E.

Every day we turn on the news, we are reminded of the serious times that we live in. Hatred, oppression, divisiveness, and injustice are regrettably consistent realities experienced by the people of New Orleans.

Candidate’s Message from Austin Badon: Providing Efficient, Cost-Effective and Easy Access to Justice for All

By |

Dear New Orleans Voters,

My name is Austin Badon and I am running to be your next First City Clerk of Court. The reasons why are fairly simple: I love helping people, I am willing to work hard to improve our community, and I firmly believe your family and mine should have access to the justice system in a manner that is efficient, cost-effective and easy. The Clerk of First City Court is an administrative position, and most of you know this office as the door to the “people’s court” or First City Court where four Judges you elect hear small business and personal claims.

When this office is run right, our city works better. When our basic disagreements as citizens are resolved quickly, there is no need for “street justice”. Quite simply, we’re all safer.
