The Voting Rights Act is being dismantled piece by piece.

On April 29th, the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling in Louisiana v. Callais struck down a congressional map that gave Black Louisianans—one-third of the state's population—a second seat for the first time in the state's history, gutting Section 2, the last meaningful enforcement tool the VRA had left. Days later, the Court made it effective immediately. Then on May 11th, it vacated its own 2023 Alabama ruling in Allen v. Milligan. States moved fast: Florida, Louisiana, and Tennessee have already redrawn or begun redrawing maps to eliminate majority-Black districts. Up to 19 House seats held by Black members of Congress are now at risk. Our grantee partners across the rural South are doing the work no court ruling can undo—registering voters, training redistricting cohorts, and building civic power where it matters most.
