Team,

This is Dan Freeman, the DNC’s Litigation Director. I’m reaching out to give you an update on the Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais. I wish I had better news.

Yesterday, the Supreme Court gutted the core requirement of the Voting Rights Act that protected majority-minority districts. This will make it much harder to bring discrimination claims against redistricting maps.

The Court ignored standards set by Congress, overturned decades of precedent, and severely undercut a core victory of the Civil Rights Movement. With this ruling, the Court has opened the door to diluting Black, Latino, AANHPI, and Native American representation across the country, especially in the South, where Republicans have made clear they want to eliminate the voting power of minority communities.

Here’s the deal: When President Trump and his administration refuse to defend Americans’ voting rights, or actively attempt to violate them, the Democratic National Committee is ready, willing, and able to stand up and defend the American people.

The DNC is taking on Republicans on all fronts—in the courts, in the press, on social media, and on the ground—to ensure that we elect Democrats who will stand up to these aspiring authoritarians. This setback only strengthens our resolve to fight.

If this work matters to you, please make a $7 contribution to the DNC today to help us continue bringing the fight to Trump and his allies. We will put your donation to work immediately.
