On April 29, the U.S. Supreme Court gave state legislatures a green light to break up Black and Native voting districts — an attack on Black self-determination, Native sovereignty, and basic democratic rights.
The 6-3 ruling in Louisiana v. Callais gutted what remained of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. It struck down Louisiana’s second majority-Black congressional district and opened the door for similar attacks across the country.
People died for the right to vote. It was people’s struggle that won the right to vote, and it is our struggle that will defend it.
