Emergency Briefing | Louisiana v. Callais: What It Means & What We Do Next
A Voting Rights Crisis
The Supreme Court's ruling in Louisiana v. Callais is a license to silence Black voters and rig the voting system. This is a devastating blow to our democracy and decades of work to ensure equal citizenship for Black people and all people of color. But we will fight back.

Redistricting 101
Redistricting, the redrawing and reshaping of voting districts, can lead to gerrymandering, which involves partisan mapmakers drawing districts that strongly favor their party by diluting the voting power of their opposition's supporters. Learn the ins and outs of how redistricting impacts your community.
Commit to Vote
The decision in Louisiana vs. Callais is a direct attack on Black voters and a failure of our justice system. Our best defense, and strongest offense, is the ballot box. Commit to vote in the midterm elections and equip your community with the tools to help shape the future of our democracy.
Redistricting, Power & Our Vote
The system of checks and balances is broken. With redistricting being used as a tactic to override Black voter communities, it aims to silence our vote and reverse decades of hard-won progress. Despite the recent Supreme Court ruling, the fight for fair maps continues.
