Team, a new congressional map was just enacted in Louisiana after Republicans drafted an original version that diluted Black voting power and violated the Voting Rights Act, and here’s what PBS had to say about this news:

The newly enacted map more fairly represents Black Louisianans, but it also harms the GOP’s chances at clinging onto their razor-thin House majority — creating another potential congressional district for Democrats to flip. This also happened in Alabama last year, where our partners on the ground won a fairer map that also created a possible red-to-blue flip district!

So what began as a local effort to demand accountability and put an end to racist gerrymandering now has the potential to drastically alter the House majority and national politics with it.

That’s why it’s so important to support the people on the ground who continue to make progress across the Deep South, Appalachia, and the Plains. Can you pitch in today to fuel this work?
