NPR: Judges block Louisiana's congressional map. A Supreme Court appeal is expected [[link removed]]
A federal court has struck down the congressional map intended to better represent Louisiana’s Black voters in compliance with the Voting Rights Act, John.
This is just the latest twist in a long-running redistricting battle over the rights of our state's Black voters. The Louisiana voters who started this legal fight intend to appeal to the Supreme Court.
Why? As former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said, this decision is “ shameful ” and “ unnecessarily puts Louisianians’ right to vote in a very precarious position .” The 2-1 decision by a federal three-judge panel struck down the newer, fairer map the state legislature recently passed. Unsurprisingly, the two Trump-appointed judges on the panel overruled the Clinton-appointed judge to reach this decision.
Louisiana's voters are worse off after being put in this position. It's been alleged that Louisiana's overtly partisan state legislature specifically drew the map in a way they knew would get thrown out for the 2024 elections. They allegedly did everything they could in order to help protect their party's majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, even if for only one more election.
John: We can't tolerate this kind of blatant partisanship overruling our voting rights. Stand up for fair districts in Louisiana and beyond with $25 or whatever you can today to help us fight back. Our right to vote depends on it >> [[link removed]]

Integrity First Voter Action Project is dedicated to expanding ballot access and increasing voter participation across the country.
Since the Supreme Court gutted key provisions in the Voting Rights Act, extreme politicians have taken advantage to pass harsh laws that restrict access to the ballot box. These restrictions particularly affect disadvantaged communities and people of color. It’s our goal to bring awareness to these laws wherever they may crop up and organize voters to take action to ensure the right to vote is available to everyone in their states and communities.
