Voting rights advocates, labor organizers, civic engagement groups, and community members will gather Saturday in New Orleans for a statewide day of action opposing the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais, a ruling that has intensified the fight over congressional representation, Black voting power, and the future of the Voting Rights Act. The […]
The Supreme Court’s Louisiana ruling does more than threaten one majority-Black district. It gives states a new roadmap for weakening Black political power while claiming they are only playing partisan politics.
