Shameful.
That’s the only way we can describe yesterday’s Supreme Court decision to reverse a lower court order which had invalidated a “stark racial gerrymander” in Alexander v. South Carolina State Conference of the NAACP.
It’s yet another stain on the Roberts Court’s shameful legacy of rolling back the voting rights of American citizens. In its ruling, the Supreme Court’s conservative majority inappropriately displaced the district court’s diligent factual findings in order to meet its own desired outcome.
We are no strangers to setbacks handed down from ideological courts. But our work isn’t defined by those setbacks — it’s defined by how we respond.
That’s why we’re launching a flash fundraising drive to raise $10,000 TODAY from the fair maps movement to show we’re not going to sit back and take this. Can we count on you to rush a donation right away?

The truth of the matter is this:
The Supreme Court has just effectively greenlit a concerted campaign to dismantle equal voting rights and to dilute the voices and votes of people of color.
And it's all clearly in the service of achieving manufactured political power through further map manipulation. These anti-democratic forces will do absolutely anything to gerrymander — and we have to stop them.
Rush a donation to the NDRC right away to help us reach our $10,000 flash fundraising goal by midnight tonight! →
Thanks for stepping up when we need you the most.
