John,

I wanted to update you on an extremely important case headed to the Supreme Court, and why our affiliate, the National Redistricting Foundation (NRF), is fighting — and what comes next.

You might remember that the Supreme Court did not issue a ruling in Louisiana v. Callais in June. Instead, they’ve decided to rehear the case and consider whether to gut the Voting Rights Act. Specifically, they could strike down Section 2 of the law — a legal foundation that fair maps rest upon, which prohibits limiting voting rights based on race.

That’s why the entire fair maps movement is pulling every lever to save the Voting Rights Act and protect access to the ballot for all Americans, particularly communities of color who’ve historically been disenfranchised. But this fight takes enormous resources.

All On The Line is pushing on all fronts to halt the sudden and shocking Republican mid-decade gerrymandering effort in states across the country — and we need your help. We are responding across the country while also supporting and amplifying the work of our affiliates to stop the attempted gutting of the Voting Rights Act.

This Louisiana case is a clear example of why the Voting Rights Act is so essential. The fair maps movement, led by the NRF, successfully challenged Louisiana's previously gerrymandered map that deprived Black voters of a congressional seat. Then, a conservative federal court struck down the new fair map.

Now, this map, along with the much larger issue of the future of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, is before the Supreme Court.

Recent attempts to redraw maps to favor one party at the expense of communities of color are clear proof of the need for strong laws like the Voting Rights Act — and that it’s more necessary than ever to stop politicians from silencing voters.

Justice Ginsburg famously remarked that we shouldn't gut the Voting Rights Act because it'd be like "throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet." But it's raining cats and dogs these days. Just look at Texas: The state's new map explicitly dilutes the voting power of communities of color — exactly what the Voting Rights Act was passed to prevent.

Make no mistake: If the Supreme Court strikes down Louisiana’s fair map, it would be a head-spinning reversal of decades of legal precedent. And it would leave millions of American voters without legal recourse to protect their constitutional rights.

We’re waging this fight on all fronts. But it takes constant vigilance and tremendous resources. Step up with a donation today so AOTL can keep up the fight for fair maps, no matter where it takes us next. → [link removed]

We’re so grateful that you have our backs in this critical moment.
