John -- North Carolina Supreme Court decisions in Harper v. Hall in 2022 were monumental in our fight against gerrymandering and for protecting North Carolinians’ ability to exercise their right to be heard.

But last week, newly sworn-in justices on North Carolina’s Supreme Court showed their extremist views by agreeing to reconsider the Harper v. Hall ruling that struck down the legislature’s gerrymandered state senate map.

‘’This is not a function of legal principle -- it is an indication of political opportunism.’’
-- A.G. Eric Holder

Our affiliate, the National Redistricting Foundation (NRF), has been in North Carolina fighting gerrymandered maps for the past five years. And amidst this attempt to politicize the state’s judicial branch, the NRF remains steadfast in its support of the plaintiffs in Harper v. Hall, who are standing tall against gerrymandering.

So, what’s changed?

Let’s be clear. Nothing in state law has changed. But Republican legislative leadership filed their petition to undermine the state’s system of checks and balances, under their belief that new justices on the state supreme court would side with them simply because they have the same party affiliation.

We can’t stress enough that the fair maps movement is about putting people over politics. And we won’t stand for lawmakers continuing to damage our democratic infrastructure that safeguards people’s rights.
