John,
Last week, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Louisiana v. Callais — a case that could gut the hard-won protections of the Voting Rights Act.
Louisiana Republicans are asking the Court to ban lawmakers from considering race when drawing districts. If they succeed, Black and Latino voters could lose the power to elect leaders who represent their communities, weakening their influence and silencing their voices.
This is a direct attempt by a MAGA-packed Court to undermine civil rights, rewrite the rules of democracy to benefit the powerful, and erase decades of progress for communities of color.
We’ve seen this playbook before. Earlier this year in Texas, MAGA Republicans pushed an unprecedented mid-decade redistricting plan targeting communities of color. Now Louisiana is next — and it won’t stop there.
If they win, it would send a ripple effect across the country, setting a dangerous precedent for gerrymandering and voter suppression. We can’t let that happen.
The Squad is in Congress every single day, standing up to right-wing extremism and fighting for a future that leaves no one behind — but this work doesn’t happen alone. We need all of us, standing shoulder to shoulder, to keep this movement strong.
Thank you for being a part of this movement with us.
In solidarity,
Squad Victory Fund
