Redistricting, Power & Our Vote
The Fight for Fair Maps Starts Here
For generations, Black communities have fought to be counted and to count. Today, that fight is happening through redistricting.
From Texas and Missouri to Ohio, North Carolina and down to Florida, redistricting efforts are being designed to erase the influence and representation of Black communities when developing the policies that impact us daily. This political attack aims to silence our vote and reverse decades of hard-won progress.
But voters in states like California and Virginia are fighting back. Below, explore the population and power shifts underway.
Take Action: 2026 Midterms
Our power at the ballot box secured civil rights and diversity in statehouses and Congress. Our votes ensure we have a say in the policies and programs that impact our communities daily. Votes cast in California and Virginia protected the country from partisan power grabs. November 2026 is our next opportunity to make our voices heard.
