The Louisiana Chapter is led by advocate Kristi Medlin Fontenot and Danielle Credeur.

Kristi was inspired to start advocating for accessible restrooms with universal changing tables because of her own struggles to care for her twin daughters while away from home. The lack of dignified, private changing facilities for her daughters while traveling has made this Kristi's mission.

​

Danielle explains, "Being a mother of Triplets with Disabilities two who cannot walk and require being changed has been a challenge for our family. It limits us on where we can go and what we can do. This platform inspired me that we can make changes in our state."

​

Kristi and Danielle have begun by contacting advocacy groups to spread awareness about this issue. They have contacted their representatives, in hopes to secure grant funding for Universal Changing Stations in Louisiana. They also hopes to be considered in the next round of items on the next  legislative agenda.

According to Kristi, "My girls deserve to travel just as much as everyone else and shouldn’t have to stay home because of lack of facilities to be changed when necessary."
