101625 Tell Congress: Defend the Voting Rights Act
The Supreme Court appears ready to overturn Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act—the federal protection against racial discrimination in voting. As a result, Republicans could redraw at least 19 congressional districts in their favor.
Up to 30% of the Congressional Black Caucus could be eliminated. Entire states will lose minority representation. The Trump Justice Department is pushing for this outcome right now.
What's at stake:
Protections against racial discrimination in voting
Democratic representation across the South
30% of the Congressional Black Caucus
11% of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus
Equal voting rights for communities of color
In solidarity,
