“Whose rights matter? In this case, the conservative majority airily privileged the convenience of state legislators over the ability of Black voters to secure fair representation” - Ruth Marcus, The Washington Post

Folks, it’s time for us to get loud and ask whose rights really do matter.

The Supreme Court recently blocked a lower court ruling that cited the need for a second majority-minority (and Democratic) district in Alabama to fairly reflect the political representation of Black Alabamians.

Instead of favoring equal and fair representation, the Supreme Court ruling greenlighted the GOP’s gerrymandered maps – which dilutes the votes of Black Alabamians who make up 27% of the state’s electorate.

Folks, every person should be able to exercise their sacred right to vote.

That’s why I introduced my bill, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which would restore the original provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that the Supreme Court stripped away in 2013.

I have been tirelessly fighting in Congress to ensure the right to vote is secured for future generations. Will you chip in to my re-election campaign and join me in the fight to defend voting rights? [[link removed]]
