We'll get right to it. Here is what you should know:
1. The 2020 Census proved that one-third of Louisiana's population is Black.
2. The Louisiana Legislature had the opportunity to increase the amount of majority-minority congressional districts in Louisiana during the Redistricting Special Session earlier this year.
3. Self-serving politicians refused to pass a congressional map with proportional representation of Black Louisianans.
4. Governor John Bel Edwards vetoed the map because it lacked basic fairness and violates the Voting Rights Act.
5. Now, the legislature is trying to override Gov. Edwards' veto to keep the unfair map.
Will you write your legislators right now to urge them to uphold Gov. Edwards' veto? ([link removed])
