John,
When we told you last week that Louisiana Republicans were asking the
Supreme Court to ban the use of race in redistricting, we meant it —
because this case could change everything.
Louisiana Republicans are asking the Court to throw out the Voting Rights
Act’s protections for minority voters — the very protections that forced
them to finally draw fair maps in the first place. If they win, it could
open the door for Republicans to redraw up to 19 congressional districts
to lock in their power — including five right here in Texas.
It’s the same playbook we’ve seen before: silence voters, protect the
powerful, and rig the system to stay in charge.
But here’s what they still don’t get: people power can’t be silenced.
At Powered by People, we don’t sit around waiting for permission to fight
back. We organize. We register voters. We show up in communities where
politicians have written people off and remind them that their voice still
matters.
Because no matter how they try to rewrite the rules, they can’t stop
Texans — and folks all across this country — from showing up and taking
power into our own hands.
We’ve done it before — and we can do it again. But we need to be ready
now, before the Court hands down its decision.
