John –
The next few months could have a profound impact on our democracy.
Soon, the U.S. Supreme Court will issue decisions on two cases that we're
monitoring closely: Moore v. Harper and Allen v. Milligan.
Let's break down what these cases are all about and why they are so
important:
1. Moore v. Harper is a big deal. Depending on how the Court rules,
countless laws could be struck down, including anti-gerrymandering
measures, Ranked Choice Voting, and any other reform passed by the
voters that affect federal elections.

explainer video we put together. Don’t forget to share it with your
network to help spread the word.
2. In Allen v. Milligan, the Supreme Court is considering an Alabama
Congressional map that likely violated the Voting Rights Act (VRA).
This map dilutes the voting power of Black voters, potentially
silencing the voice of hundreds of thousands of Alabamans. This case
also gives the Court a chance to further weaken the VRA.
The case could effectively gut the strongest tool we have in
preventing racial gerrymandering and voter suppression.
Between these two cases, the next few months are absolutely critical for
the future of democracy – but we’re ready for whatever outcome our
movement may face.
You can expect to hear from us about these cases quite a bit over the next
few months and you'll be the first to know when and how you can take
action when the Court issues its decisions.
For now, the most important thing we can do is read up on these cases and
make sure our friends and neighbors know what's at stake.
