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.

“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.
@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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
