on thursday May 21stbccr stood to bring attention to how our
voting rights are under attackWe gathered to say: we are watching, we are counting, and we will not be silent. |
In April 2026, the Supreme Court gutted Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act — the last major federal protection against racially discriminatory electoral maps. Within days, Louisiana suspended an active primary election to redraw maps eliminating majority-Black congressional districts. Redistricting efforts aimed at erasing Black political representation are now underway in Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Mississippi.
this didn't happen in isolation. Over the past sixteen months, the legal architecture built over sixty years — through moral courage and real sacrifice — has been quietly dismantled. Protections against segregated federal workplaces, gone. Fair housing enforcement, gutted. The nation's top Black military officer, fired without cause. The first Black Librarian of Congress, terminated by a two-sentence email. Black unemployment rising at nearly five times the rate of white unemployment, driven by mass federal job cuts. The Supreme Court's voting rights decision is not the beginning. It may be the point of no return. |
