This Supreme Court term reshaped the balance of power in this country.

The Court upheld birthright citizenship—the bare minimum. But it also stripped judicial review from TPS terminations affecting 1.3 million people, overturned 91 years of independent agency protections, and struck down 50-year-old limits on political spending before the midterms. One unexpected break: the Court rejected longstanding attacks on mail-in voting. The response was immediate—the House committed to passing the SAVE America Act for the fourth time, a bill that could block millions of eligible citizens from voting. Our partners across the rural South are not slowing down. #VotingRights #ProtectTPS #birthrightcitizenship #GrassrootsOrganizing #SocialJustice #RuralSouth #SouthernPartnersFund
