The AL legislature’s remedial congressional map has been rejected by a federal court, which found that the map “perpetuates rather than corrects the Section Two violation we found.” This marks an important step forward in our fight for a fair map in AL. bit.ly/3L8ybmw

ICYMI: The trial featuring challenges against Georgia’s congressional & state legislative maps began yesterday. We echo our Director of Litigation – GA’s maps are textbook violations of the VRA. The court *must* rule on the side of Black Georgians. bit.ly/45FDlP0

🔔 BREAKING: SCOTUS has denied Alabama's emergency motion for stay in Allen v. Milligan — that means that Alabama's desperate effort to stop the remedial mapdrawing process has thus-far been unsuccessful. The remedial process will continue. 🗺️

⚖️BREAKING: A federal panel in Alabama has just adopted a #FairMap that complies with SCOTUS’ order to include a second district in which Black voters can elect their candidate of choice. This is a huge victory for voting rights. We’re beyond proud to have been part of this team.

In spite of the shameful intransigence of Alabama Republicans, justice has finally prevailed in the state. With this new, fairer map, and for the first time ever, black voters in Alabama could have two members of Congress representing their interests. nytimes.com/2023/10/05/us/…

The court ordered victory today - creating a new black opportunity district for Congress in Alabama - is for my late sister in law Vivian and those other black Alabamians - here and gone - too long denied equal representation. Their commitment and sacrifice made this day possible

Today, in a major victory for voters, a GA court struck down the state’s congressional and state leg. maps as violations of Section 2 of the VRA. After initiating these challenges in 2021, we are thrilled with this giant step toward equal representation! bit.ly/3s9FS5I

The VRA of 1965 established the fundamental principle that every American, regardless of race or color, has the right to vote. At a time where racial discrimination in our elections remains pervasive, our lawmakers must recommit to the restoration of the VRA in its entirety.
