United For Democracy

No more business as usual. Not while families are struggling. Not while communities are fighting to be heard. Not while politicians attack the right to vote. Not while our democracy is on the line. “The people, la gente, we are not powerless.” —Noel Candelaria, National Education Association

“Our government should work for the people, not billionaire donors or corporate special interests.” —Justin Unga, End Citizens United Apparently, this Congress and the Supreme Court need a reminder.

“They are silencing our voices and calling it liberty.” Melanie Newman of @ppfa.org named exactly what’s happening: the Supreme Court is attacking our rights while pretending it’s protecting freedom.

The Supreme Court is supposed to be impartial. Instead, we’ve seen justices cozy up to political figures, face allegations of financial wrongdoing, and hand Trump the power he needs to push his agenda. Ken’Travius is right: accountability is missing.

@whitehouse.senate.gov said it plainly: Callias exposes this Supreme Court for what it has become — a partisan institution. They’ve helped Republicans rig maps, helped fund the fossil fuel corporations, and now they want to make voters feel powerless. Bad news for them: angry voters show up.

We don’t have to accept a Supreme Court captured by MAGA extremists and billionaire interests. We don’t have to accept corruption with no consequences. And we don’t have to take attacks on our democracy lying down. Join us outside the Capitol on Wednesday, May 20.

Doug Lindner from @lcv.org explains that far right judges and politicians are stealing power from the people. And we do not have to accept that. But bold solutions are required. @douglindner.bsky.social

“They aren’t even trying to hide it”: Cliff Albright, founder of @blackvotersmatterfund.org, sounds the alarm on the ominous regressive symbolism of the Louisiana v. Callais decision.

Brianna Twofoot from @ppact.org says that Louisiana v. Callais is giving politicians permission to suppress Black voters. And this kind of discrimination requires action.

Civil rights advocate and entrepreneur Gary Chambers wants us to know that what happens in Louisiana will ultimately impact the rest of the country. #VotingRightsAct #YourVoteMatters

Lauren Groh-Wargo from @fairfightaction.bsky.social wants us all to “fight back hard now” against the onerous Louisiana v. Callais Supreme Court decision. It’s go time.

Watch former New Orleans Mayor @mitch-landrieu.bsky.social explain how the SCOTUS decision eviscerating the Voting Rights Act is already impacting Louisiana voters and how this just the beginning.

Our Executive Director Stasha M. Rhodes calls upon us to reject a system that leaves people behind and demand a democracy that works for us.

SCOTUS may have just gutted voting rights in Louisiana v. Callais, but we’re not staying silent—we’re organizing. Kalisha Dessources Figures from @whenweallvote.bsky.social breaks down what is happening now.

The Supreme Court just ruled in Louisiana v. Callais. They didn’t strike down a district. They erased Black voting power. This is far from neutrality. The Court didn’t stop discrimination. It chose to protect it.

Staying silent right now isn’t neutral. When the Roberts Court strips voting power, silence helps them get away with it. We deserve a system that works for all of us. Not just those at the top. We’re paying attention. And we’re not backing down.

Remember when RFK Jr. told us: "Glyphosate causes cancer." Now his admin is telling the Supreme Court: "EPA says it's safe." This isn't just about Roundup or pesticides. It's about whether corporations can be held accountable for sickening Americans.

This isn’t getting enough attention — but it should be. Trump signed an executive order targeting mail-in voting. Now the Supreme Court could decide if it stands. And the stakes? Millions of ballots.
